Beautiful park. 1) You get nice views of the river from this park. The day I went, loads of fresh air. 2) Large part of the park and its surrounding is under construction, which took a little of the beauty. 3) Also, shame on some of the visitors who litter this park. Overall, the park staff is doing their best to keep the litter under some control. read more

This is going to be a really cool park after renovation!!! Currently a nice rock outcropping with city views, sports courts and a walking trail, with rough entry/dilapidated buildings. Near great food courts of industrial city & Costco read more

Most people would never expect a little beautiful park in this quiet area of Brooklyn. Perfect for a lovely stroll or bike ride along scenic views of Lady liberty and the Manhattan skyline. Very clean, has parking. Definitely an alternative for those avoiding crowds looking for some me time. read more

Bush Terminal Park - Parks Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

Love this park! My favorite one in the sunset park area. Beautiful views and such clean athletic fields that are great for working out. It's not crowded if you come in the mornings or on weekday afternoons. I like to bring my dog here. Just note that the park opens at 7 am so if you're an early bird, you'll have to wait for them to open the gate at 7. read more

Bush Terminal Park - Amazing views here. - Parks Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

Bam! Gentrification at its finest. Growing up in Sunset Park we didn't have the luxury of turfs, clean playgrounds, or a clean waterfront hangout spot. It definitely shatters your ego that much more, when you realize that money really can buy happiness. Behind those abandoned warehouses along 1st ave, you see a reenactment of the Williamsburg that we have grown to love today. Clean playgrounds for kids to embrace their athletic genes. Mint clean pavements that draws a path along the waters. Bike routes and pedestrian walkways distinctly separated. This place screams Brooklyn bridge park, minus the traffic. I look forward to the rapid transitions in the neighborhood I have grown to love. Though this park is still a work in progress, it sure knows how to draw investors and young blood further south into Brooklyn. read more

A great addition to Sunset Park! This park has a great view of lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and Jersey. It offers a waterfront path for walkers, joggers, and bikers. There are benches along the path which allow for rest and a nice seat to soak in the views. The park also has an area that actually juts out into the water. While I was at the park a staff member actually came to tell people to move from sitting on the rocks which is a permitted area. This park also has a sports field where a soccer game was taking place when I visited. The only con is that it is located near a very industrial area. There are a few vacant buildings and some that are in use. I would definitely not come here alone after dusk. It makes sense to me that this park closes so early year round. Nonetheless I look forward to frequenting this park this summer! read more

Psst: Yelpers this is a true gem of a tucked away oasis. After some needed face-lift, the city partially opened up this park to the public. It boast a great skyline of NYC skyscrapers and has a decent view of lady Liberty. There is a bike lane that stretches all the way towards the end of the abondon warehouse. Rocks are pile on top to make route for walkways down the water front for people to stoll and take pictures. There is a small emptied car lot if you do decide to drive. The park needs some sprucing up like nail down those metal blockades, or renovate the rest of the collapsed shore front steps. This isn't really a place to go alone, bring a loved one or friends, or even your pet. Its a good quiet place away from the city. read more

Definitely my new running spot. Running around Sunset Park is nice because of the hills, but you can't get better scenery than in Bush Terminal Park. The park opened a few months and the space includes a bike track, a soccer field, and a baseball field. I don't recommend biking in the park but it's a great place for running and strolling along side the river. Of course, it gets pretty darn cold as you're right near the water. On one side you get the Hudson River/Bay Ridge channel and on the other side you have manufacturing companies. There is a boardwalk that extends outward and will give you a better view of lower manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The area is not huge, but it is really nice to know there is a great area against all those industrial companies. With Industry City around 34th St., I wonder in the upcoming years what will happen to Sunset Park. read more

Bush Terminal Park - Parks Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

This park is great until somewhere between 15 minutes and 45 minutes before the posted closing time. At that time you start getting yelled at by a park worker to leave. I think they should change their sign to say "Closes at XXX time but a park worker will start yelling at you 30 minutes prior." Love coming here but hate seeing all the rule following park goers getting yelled at. read more

Great place to chill out with a friend /date if you just want a good break. This was not around when I was a kid, but I'm glad it's an accessible space for the sunset Park residents to play and be safe. It does look like one of those rising up and coming Hipster parks, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts! read more

Bush Terminal Park may have a stodgy name, but it also has beautiful juxtapositions of industrial Brooklyn and urban horticultural landscapes. The paved bike and walking pathways lead to views of the waterfront, Bush Terminal historic buildings or a rather abrupt exit about ten blocks from the Terminal entryway. The courts look like fun for soccer ball. There are plenty of lovely spots for impromptu lunch picnicking. It's usually quiet and feels like an escape from city life, while simultaneously being surrounded by urban revitalization and decay. read more

* Entrance is on 43rd Street * Public restrooms available. Nice little park with beautiful views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Worth checking out if you live in or are visiting Sunset Park. read more

Wonderful new park in Sunset Park. They are starting to develop the waterfront area here into a greenway and common park space. Pretty good job so far. Large soccer fields and a long waterway walkway. They have a great long pier as well that stretches out to the water which provides great views of the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan. The greenspace is well manicured with lovely flowers and trees. Towards the soccer fields you'll find some grassy areas for relaxing or a picnic and a bathrooms and water fountain area. Parking is scarce right now as it's a small lot. Great place for kite flying as you'll find some of the winds coming up from the Bay and large open areas. There's also a bikeway as well. Also a estuary and protected wildlife section. Plenty of ducks, egrits, and wildlife to look at. read more

A really nice park to walk or run with a play field. Great view of the city. Small park by the water with lots of families and people walking around. Whenever I get here my glasses get so dirty from the seawater air. Some wild animals birds, ducks. In the evening the air is fresh and amazingly there were not bugs which made me curious as to being one of the first outdoor places by the water with no bugs. A few more interesting, amazing and great things about this park that I can really appreciate because I like nature and outdoors so much, but I will not write it here, that is for me to show and surprise my friends and family when I take them here. read more

A little difficult to get to way over on 1st Avenue, but if you're in the area, or live in the area, this is a really nice place, with some unique views of the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan. It almost looks like a private gated community entrance, but the parents with the kids and their bikes were pulling up and parking in this desolate warehouse area of Brooklyn, and walking on in. Really nice and pristine baseball fields, and rocky piers that extend our in at least 2 different areas, and a nice arching pathway for dog walkers, etc, There is a designated bike path, and an on-site security guard for the Bush Terminal entrance. Overall, this is a really nice addition for Brooklyn! read more

Bush Terminal Park - Entrance toward park - Parks Near Me - Sunset Park, New York

My foodie partner and I came across this new park on our way biking to IKEA one Saturday morning. The bike paths were so smooth, probably because it's new-ish. It was pretty desolate which I didn't mind because there's too many crowds everywhere else. It looks like a great spot for biking, jogging, running, strolling, walking your dog, etc. read more

it is a nice park for lunchtime, however they have now installed several no parking signs all over stating this is private property??? when this is a public park?????? since when was this little parking lot private and who are the spaces reserved for????? read more

This park is tough to rate for me. I love that is on the waterfront. It has great views of New York Lower Bay,as well as Lady Liberty. Amazing place to bring your significant other and enjoy the sunset. This Sunset Park,park,is small and most of it is off limits and designated as natural protection areas. The park has a soccer field and a baseball field. Plenty of benches and a brackish water pool,which has several species of aquatic birds. I dislike the desolate location of Bush Terminal Park,and it closes at 8:00 pm,which is strictly enforced by the staff. Otherwise, you will be locked in the park,not cool. Bush Terminal Park,scenic,beautiful and is a solid four stars in my book. read more

This is a lovely space, and I'm looking forward to spending more time there as the weather gets better, but access is an issue. The entrance is at 43rd and 1st Ave, but there's no crosswalk across 1st for at least three blocks in either direction. There's not a TON of traffic but it can still be a hassle. The park extends along the waterfront down to 50th St, so it would be great to have another entrance there. It seems like this was part of the original plan, but it's faced budget cuts and other setbacks, so I don't know how much hope to hold out. I hope it proves popular this summer, so the city can see that demand for more public spaces is real. Nearby Sunset Park is pretty much at capacity whenever the weather's nice. It's a wonderful neighborhood anyway, and investing in outdoor spaces would mean a lot to the community. read more

It's very clean and well kept so far. Has a soccer field, bike lane, and lots of grassy areas, but be wary of prickly weeds before you sit. It has great views of manhattan and even has a small parking lot! Entrance is on 43rd street. It has a pretty nice bathroom with water fountain nearby.However, it is lacking SHADE. There are NO trees or just a bunch of tiny trees. Unless they add more stuff to the park, I don't think I'll be coming here again. The neighborhood doesn't seem to be using it much either. We came on memorial day and it was empty. read more

Went this weekend and I loved how lush and moderately deserted it was and just a short walk away. Without the help of coworkers telling me about this "hidden gem" I would not have found it otherwise. A nice park to spend some hours in and have great views of downtown Manhattan if you care about that sort of thing. read more

I gotta give only two stars for this. I grew up on 29th street and 3rd ave where The Bush Terminal buildings started, they went all the way to 38th street. There was a Bazooka bubble gum factory in one building and we'd sneak in and steal gum. Talk about inner-city ghetto! Yup, I went to Dewey JHS too. The only park (with grass) around there was Sunset park, unless you counted Greenwood cemetery, yes we played in there too. 1st avenue was called Marginal street in the 1960's. Just docks, ships and really big wharf rats. No shit, BIG rats. Guess I'm kinda jealous of a nice park there now. Maybe I shoulda gave it two more stars? read more

I just moved to Sunset Park two years ago from the Bronx, and I love the neighborhood. It reminds me of my childhood growing up in East Harlem sitting on the stoops of brownstone buildings. Bush Terminal Park is an added favorite feature that my wife and I love to go to. We ride our bikes into the park and sit on one of the nice benches to soak up sun, and take pictures of the amazing sunset that occurs nightly. I like the fact that it doesn't get too crowded, and the pier that struts out into the water is amazing for pictures. I hope the community respects the cleanliness of the park, and keeps it pristine. One recent day in July, I rode out to it and saw that some idiot took several rocks and placed them by the road, blocking a path towards the end of the baseball field. I hope this was an isolated incident, and not an on going occurrence. There's already some graffiti that some one tagged at the end as well. Let's appreciate the little that we have in Sunset Park, and not vandalize what is precious to us. I hope there is more to come, and additional park space by the waterfront. Sunset Park is a part of Brooklyn that is strategically located where there are stunning vistas of the Manhattan skyline. Enjoy! read more

Great new park on the water in Sunset Park. Baseball field and soccer pitch turf are in fantastic shape. Nice walks along the waterfront with fantastic views. Seems like there is still some little odds and ends for the Parks Dept to tweak, like lighting. Parking is really really tight. Maybe 10 spots. If you are going for a ball game, plan ahead. This is something the Parks Dept needs to sort out - there is not enough parking for two baseball teams to park so its a free for all. read more
