Love this place…read more I've been coming this park now for about 7 yrs now. It has been without incident or hesitation. Prior to moving in the neighborhood I used to come to use the bike path and enjoy rides around the pond. Now that I live close by I come to run. I absolutely love the scenery. The park is always very clean. The pond appears to be quite murky but I was informed by a parks and receive worker that it is a actually necessary for the species it hosts. By the look of things the animals (ducks, swans, geeese, fish, frogs) are quite happy making it their home. The park has a bike bath and a running path. Since neither has been clearly labeled or designated it's up to park goers to use their discretion. The park has clean benches where you can sit and enjoy the pond scenery, two kiddie parks, a field which I've seen hosts the likes of concerts, soccer games, cricket matches, rallies and family reunions. The park does have brand new bathroom facilities but they seem to close them prior to 4pm which is inconvenient for the average person wanting to use it after work. The entire space is well lit and safety has never been a worry for me as it is also very populated during the hrs I've used it been 4 and 8. While this park is not ideal for cooking out etc, there are about 4 grills that are strategically placed near the picnic tables and is a neighborhood jewel. The perfect getaway at the end of the day or the best way to start your day.

MIXED BAG THIS REVIEW: Baisley Pond Park Extension Bathroom BRUTAL…read moreNYC Parks Department, this was absolutely unacceptable! On August 15, 2026, I attended the Kings of Kings Foundation's family event at Baisley Pond Park Extension. The event itself was wonderful, but the condition of the Parks Department bathroom was SHAMEFUL. The bathroom lights were completely out. You practically needed a flashlight just to see inside! The bathroom smelled strongly of urine and feces, it was not properly cleaned, and two stalls had no toilet paper. What bothered me most was seeing little girls and other children having to use these nasty bathrooms during a family event. Families should not have to choose between using an unsanitary restroom or trying to hold it for hours. Where was the Parks Department employee responsible for maintaining these facilities? I didn't see anyone maintaining or checking that bathroom. No one was in sight. If these bathrooms were opened that morning for public use, someone should have been responsible for making sure the lights worked, stalls were cleaned, toilet paper was stocked, and the facilities remained sanitary throughout the day. Last year's event was NOT like this, which makes this year's conditions even more disappointing. I'm not asking for a luxury restroom. I'm asking for the basics: working lights, toilet paper, cleanliness and regular maintenance. The NYC Parks Department needs to investigate what happened and hold the appropriate staff accountable. If an employee was assigned to maintain these bathrooms and failed to do so, management needs to address it. MIXED BAG THIS VERDICT: BRUTAL Community Event: AMAZING Bathroom Cleanliness: Maintenance: Working Lights: Parks Staff Presence: Our children, families and community deserve clean, safe and functional public facilities. NYC Parks Department--please fix this.

This is also a mecca for dogs (aren't all parks in NYC?). If you have a small pup like me, we go out before 7:30 am; by 7:30 there are dogs galore running and playing. My dog loves big dogs though, so he's in heaven. As with all parks, sometimes the music goes a bit late, especially when it's nice out. Overall though, a great community asset.

BOTTOM LINE: crowded alternative adjacent to Jacob Riis Park…read moreTIP/S: go early, exit early ...WHO: party of 1 WHY: curiosity WHAT: (Deets) I followed the crowd across the ball field to this beach. Compared to other beaches, there is less space to spread out because much of the land is roped off for nature preserve. Family friendly but folks were too close to one another IMO. I will say though, that the water seemed less littered with plastic and random waste, and I didn't have to tread through rocks and sharp shells to go in waist deep. That was a welcome surprise. WHEN: 7/12/20 WHERE: beach HOW: bike/ public transportation Q35 BATHROOM: 2 options, just off the water are port o johns. In the park area closer to the stables are separate gender restrooms. I used neither. WIFI: beats me DRESS CODE: as you wish SERVICE: n/a

Probably one of the best beaches in the city, simply because no one comes here. And the people that…read moredo are really nice and respectful. It's a serene spot, and you can find some naturalists and hipsters along the way. There are lots of rules, which can be a little annoying and they are heavily enforced, like no dogs on the beach and no alcohol. I hate that there are park rangers all over the place. There are no lifeguards on duty, so even if you're a good swimmer, don't go out too far in the water. The beach is immaculately clean with little trash, although it would be nice to see some more trash cans set up.

Certainly not to the governments of New York State or New York City. The loop trail was clean and free from garbage and debris. Almost unheard of in the New York City area.

Brighton Beach, this is a beach that runs along Coney Island boardwalk and beach. Coney Island and Brighton Beach both run along the Atlantic Ocean. The are iconic beaches in the southern part of the borough of Brooklyn. If you have not been there to visit then you are missing out on one of the most beautiful beaches and places in Brooklyn NY! And I am not saying this because I was born here, I may be a little biased but that's neither here nor there!. You will thank me later! Brighton Beach is a place worth the visit if you're ever in NYC and decide to take a visit to Brooklyn!. I will definitely recommend taking a trip there!.

It's pretty hidden since you have to go to the end of 51st street and then walk down some steps. There's plenty of poop bags (looks like plastic bags from the veggie section at your grocery store) and the surface is paved brick. It seems as if they just threw up a fence to split off the dog park from the rest of the park. While I liked the park, I didn't dig the vibe of the folks. Maybe it's because I'm not from the neighborhood, but it seemed as if everyone was just antisocial, and it seemed like all of the dogs were antisocial as well. It seemed like a park where the dogs and owners were more mature. I got dirty looks from the old folks who thought my 6 month old Jack Russell mix was aggressive and they left. Nipping, biting and barking is perfectly normal for dogs. People need to chill out. Dogs like to wrestle and hump. It's worth it to check out if you're in the area, but I wouldn't make a destination out of it.
