    In ground sprinklers
    Kelly D.

    Took my friend from out of town here recently while walking along the Williamsburg waterfront and he was impressed. I've been by here when it was colder but now got to see it full of green. Besides the incredible view of the Manhattan skyline (from the top of the hill) there are a few other things that make this park unique. There are lounge chairs where you can rest and catch some rays while having your bike along your side. There are plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy a snack (especially on a Saturday....Smorgasborg is just south of here) or play a game of chess. Two sprinkler options are excellent for cooling off on a hot day. One fixture is in the form of colorful spraying squiggles and the other is hidden in the ground. Look for a button on a pedestal to activate them.

    We visited the newly open northern part of the park today. The park is a great addition of a good spot to visit in the area. It has a very good view of the Manhattan skyline. A perfect spot to watch the sundown. Next to the Marsha Johnson state park with an easy access to the weekend smorgasbord of Williamsburg. There are so many benches and tables that are installed all around the vicinity. A good walking path has properly lined. It has outdoor games( sand bag etc) available to play by anyone. The added sprinkler system makes it a fun place for children. Lots of trees to give full shade to visitors for eating, reading or resting. Lamp posts can be seen on each corner of the park. Clean restrooms for public use.

    This is a nice park. But, it's small. I found this spot accidentally when I was in the area and was walking by. There are benches by the water, playgrounds, fields and restrooms. I would definitely come here again for views of the water.

    Great view of the east side of the Manhattan skyline, especially at sunset. Great turf soccer field/s. Super lively (even too much). Very clean and well kept. Only 3 blocks from the L train at Bedford.

    I had to meet up with a friend nearby but since I was early and it was a beautiful day I came here to kill time. I really love what they made of this space and they have a pretty big soccer field which is divided into sections therefore there are a lot of different games going on at one time. You could also go closer to the water and enjoy the beautiful NYC skyline which its always stunning. I noticed they also had public bathrooms which seem very big from the outside (I didn't need to use them so I didn't go inside) If you are in the area and want to relax or watch people play soccer this is a great place.

    Evening at the park.

    One of the best spots to watch the sunset over the midtown Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn NYC. It is also great place to take a break from Smoregasburg or after Smorgasburg close down walk over and enjoy the view and rest your stomach from all that eating. Enjoy a soccer game or sun yourself on the sloping grass that goes up the roof of the building. This is just phase 1 of the park. More is planned to expand north. Why is "Bushwick Inlet" the name? Because the next phases of the park will include the Bushwick inlet located between N12 St and Quay St. just off of Kent Ave.

    It's hard to really rate a public park. But what gives this place a 5-star rating is the fact that this is definitely a must see location for some of the best views of Manhattan. Also if you go at night, no one will bother you as you walk across the rocks to a small little concrete island. This is the perfect place to bring a date or to simply go on your own for a little peace and quiet. There are also port-a-potties by the entrance if nature calls, and a soccer field if you that's what you fancy.

    another cloudy day.

    PROS: Close to metro, free entry, accesss to the water front, great Manhattan view from Queens side, multi-purpose field, bathroom and drinking fountain available. CONS: N/A

    This review is for the playground itself. Not the river views and soccer field. Basically my reaction is this: nice sprinkler feature, but for such a popular area, you'd think this playground was a bit bigger. This park deserves one of those super playgrounds. Also, there are only two toddler swings nearby. TWO. And the person who designed and authorized the toddler swings probably doesn't have kids because the swings are super low so you need to strain your back while bending over to push your kid. Tip: rise those suckers up by shortening the chains. And with only two of them, you have a situtaion where the most impatience beings on earth (16 month olds) have to wait. There are some cool wooden play features here: like the bounce pads and the train and the wooden bridge. Fun, creative features for sure. And yes, great river views.

    Me and my mouthwatering mango on a stick in this HOT July from the food fair!

    Not crowded, recently built, big turf fields, and the dark horse for the best view of Manhattan's skyline.

But Madison Square will always be my favorite. It's kept fairly clean and is a nice size. Mostly for the working professionals and students in the area, it's an awesome spot to eat lunch, with a great food selection in Flat Iron. It's home to the OG Shake Shack, which stands there til this day. There is also an awesome dog park there. This park is great at all times of the year, so don't hesitate to go now.

Besides that, I never paid much mind to the park, especially in light of the fact that it's not in my stomping grounds. Nevertheless, I had just finished brunching nearby and since it was such a gorgeous day out, I decided to take a walk through the park and check it out. MSP is not large - the center of it is a large green space with paths on the perimeter that contain walking paths and benches. In addition to the Shake Shack, there's also a small seating area nearby where you can sit and eat, or just hang out. The park is ideal of people watching, eating your lunch, or just walking around a space that contrasts the hustle and bustle of the surrounding areas. Because of the weather, it was a little crowded but still pleasant. Overall, MSP is fine - it's not worth coming to unless you're in the area IMO, but a pleasant spot nonetheless.

We were on our 4th game of 5 on 5 on this slanted, slippery court with double rims as the Midtown skyline looked over us. We had gone 3-0 and already on wobbly legs but wanted one more to really push ourselves to exhaustion and be WHOOPED. A group of 5 17 year olds showed up and I was lowkey like damn I don't wanna play these little kids for our last game but whatever, they got next. We were going back and forth, and to be fair they were actually pretty good but just too frail to give us any problems. At 5'10 174 lbs, I'm a BIG guard. I'm left handed, but shot a right handed floater fading to my right as I'm trying to get better. If you can hit a weak hand floater on the run you will be tough to stop. I bricked it and this little 17 year old kid goes "that's a TERRIBLE shot" looking at me dead in the eyes. Like bro y'all are losing and you suck why you talking? He woke me up and I started actually trying really hard and lowkey busting their ass... but tbh normally I'm not even that good. It was just one of those days where everything was falling. I hit a 3 and yelled out "THAT'S A LAYUP." I drove hard left, euro stepped and hit a tough finish through 2 and yelled "I"M TOO BIG," while flexing. I switched onto little homie and he took a terrible stepback shot after I turned him 3 times and bricked it. I just whispered to him "I don't even gotta say nothing after that one it speaks for itself" which really pissed him off. Then I hit the game winning 3 and did the Dame wave to him as he walked off the court PISSED as hell. I sat down and then he got the courage to say "STOP TALKING SO MUCH" while he put his hand together to mimic me YAPPING. I almost stood up and said "HOW BOUT U GET WIN?" But then I realized I'm a grown ass man and there is absolutely no reason to be jawing at this little kid on a beautiful Friday in New York City. I just kind of laughed at myself and asked what is wrong with me lol. All in all, these runs were kind of weak and this court is in horrendous condition. The court on the westside highway is still my favorite in the city. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

St. & Broadway New York, NY 10001 The Bucket Located in the Herald Square Holiday Market adjacent to Macy's is a chocolate chip cookie kiosk. This secret recipe was handcrafted by food influencer Ian Martin and Hungry Gnome bakery owner Danielle Sepsy. All cookies are freshly baked on the spot in these cookie ovens. An entire batch is immediately scooped up with a french fry scooper and handed off for your enjoyment. The Bucket: The primary ingredients in these cookies are all butter, brown sugar, and premium Callebaut chocolate. As soon as you try your first one, you will be far from done. They are warm and crispy on the outside while gooey on the inside. As a bonus, the holiday themed visual design on the bucket was hand drawn by Ian's sister. There is a decent amount of seating at the holiday market for you to enjoy your dessert. Be sure to arrive early because Ian's cookies are immensely popular and they will sell out. Stop by Ian's Cookie Jar kiosk at the Herald Square holiday market and indulge in this warm, gooey treat during the most wonderful time of the year. #ianscookiejar #chefdaniellesepsy #IanMartin #thehungrygnome #TheBucket #chocolatechipcookies #HeraldSquare #heraldsquareholidaymarket #nycholidaymarket #imma_eat_this #callebautchocolate #40cookies
