    Great park. My first time being here today though I had it bookmarked for a while on Yelp. I actually randomly surfed on in upon it as part of my huge walk. Awesome pedestrian bridge over the Shore Road attracted my attention and once I jumped along over it the park was right there. The park is huge and spacious. There were two soccer fields if I'm correct and plenty of benches to sit on around the park. There's also a creek/pond/bay, which was my main interest in this park to begin with. I knew it was there from the photos posted by previous yelpers who visited it. Also both this body of water and the pedestrian bridge I've seen numerous times as a passenger in the car, but never been in the actual spot. Wasn't even really aware how to get there. Thumbs up for this great park. It really got everything you woud want. Plenty space for exercise, rest, down time, happy time, fishing, kayaking, cycling, you name it.

    Kayaker eye candy.... This park is amazing. Sure, there is some trash that builds up and once in awhile and the parking lot is rarely packed during a soccer or baseball game. This review does not reflect the baseball or soccer fields as I do not utilize them. For walking to dog there is a decent trail that boarders the waterfront. The real gem is the waterfront. The launching of a kayak here is easy and allows for a spectacular tour of Coney Island Creek. The kayak launch was built horribly but launching from the beach is easy. I saw the launch was designed bad because at low tide there is still a walk to the water. The bigger issue with the launch is horseshoe crabs occasionally get their shell wedged in between the spacing, which they cannot become free and dry out and die. So check for our friends, If they are caught give em' a hand. Great wrecks, views and of course the Quester I, a home built a yellow submarine. The beach at this park is a hospitable spawning point for horseshoe crabs during the summer months. I never had any sort of issue here whatso ever, my review may be a bit biased because I mainly use this park as a kayak launch point. FYI This Park is connected to 6 diamonds park. Most do not realize they are separate parks.

    Great hidden park no one know about. There's a yellow sunken submarine plus amazing views of the Verrazano Bridge. It's not too big to walk around the entire perimeter, with sever short trails. There's also a big parking lot. I went on a sunday afternoon and it was not crowded at all.

    this park has some nice fields for soccer and softball. There are at least 4 soccer fields, two of which are public turf fields, one grass field, and some private grass fields. There are two softball diamonds and one private baseball field. There is plenty of parking around the soccer fields and softball fields. people come here to sit on the grass, play soccer, softball, walk their dogs, and fish. However, beware the outer edges of the park as they are relatively undeveloped and somewhat dirty. so be careful. There's always people here on the weekends that fly their toy helicopters.

    Thrashed park.

    With much needed renovation and fencing put in place this park has now transformed to a clean and…read moregrassy play area for all. There is a small hill for kids to ride their scooters and bikes up and down the park. Park encircled the entrance way to BeltParkway and is a walking distance from and to the train station. Park is kept clean with a few trash cans on the sides near the basketball court. My only complaint is that there are not enough shady areas or benches for people to sit under. Especially in the sweltering heat, a shaded area would definitely be nice. Overall, a nice park

A full day of outdoor activities comprising from sea to land which includes kayaking and biking bring my travels to Bensonhurst Park in Brooklyn with a friend. A city operated park composing 17.50 acres which lack basic amenities as two water fountain exists where children hogged them to create mindless water balloons. The water pressure at the water fountains are extremely weak to dispel any decent sprout to lean over with your mouth. Facilities are available where the sink faucets barely function, nevertheless I was able to intake water with my hands to form a cup. I was dying for a cool down from my near death experience of re-learning how to ride a bicycle after numerous fall crashes and sustained bruises. I've never biked with gears on a chain in this capacity of my cycling realm. Grounds are not smooth for biking especially for the beginner learner as myself, but I was able to sustain airborne for four measly blocks!! Chess tables and benches are available along with the common problem of vagrants inhabiting to claim refuge as their abode. The air residue salt water coming from Brooklyn's Bath Beach.
