    We took my toddler here yesterday afternoon for some fun. Many of these indoor playgrounds popped…read moreup in Brooklyn in the last 2 years. I wanted to check it out to see if we wanted to do my daughter's birthday here. It's $13 for 2 hours of play for kids under 2 years old which was reasonable and I liked that they give you 4 tokens to play an arcade game. The pricing seems to change depending on the kids' ages. The playground had a big ball pit, 3 big slides, a trampoline, arcade games, and other fun toys/ activities. The arcade games looked fun. The playground was well kept for the most part. There was an area where you can see dust balls. It's funny, I didn't notice them until my daughter pointed them out to me. They need to vacuum that. They do have birthday party packages. The party room looked nice. It was smaller than the other playgrounds we've been to but looks fun still. I think I need to wait for a few more months before I bring daughter back so she can fully enjoy this place.

    To say that I rely on this place when I need to get my son's energy out is an understatement. This…read moreplace has grown and popularity ever since it has opened and has been revered as a great place to have a toddlers's birthday party. There are some things I have noticed that either need repair or have been replaced with cheaper alternatives making me feel a bit sad that the upkeep is not consistent. The staff are incredibly friendly and they always give us an additional 10 minutes of playtime. My son loves the ride on arcade games and there is a token exchange machine if you have cash readily available I hope they will replace the cheap Lego blocks with the ones they had before.

    I learned to ride a bike at this park. Many fun childhood memories rolling down the big hill and…read moreplaying in the snow or autumn leaves. Great amenities and a skate park was added. The park also features beautiful views of the Narrows. It's one of my favorite places to catch sunset views. Only downside is the stench that emanates from the wastewater treatment plant nearby (since 1952). FYI, for those interested, you can enter a lottery to tour the wastewater treatment plant! Owl's Head Park has a rich and interesting history. You can read more about it here: https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/owls-head-park/history If you ever find yourself in this quiet part of Bay Ridge, it's definitely worth a visit.

    I've been to this park on several occasions--most of which came when I didn't live in the area, but…read morenow that I live just a few blocks away, I've only been here two or three times. Nonetheless, my daughter wanted to have some friends/family celebrate her birthday here. The park is a decent size park, where a lot of people have set-ups for birthdays. A short distance away, they have a play area for the children to do their thing. If you walk up a bit, you can get some nice anemic photos toward the water, during this part of the season, you may spot a cherry blossom tree, or two. Overall, it's a wonderful family oriented park. I'd say if you have children, a dog, a mate who enjoys walking, a couple friends who want a picnic and/or some quiet time, this park would definitely suit your needs!

    McKinley spot has a little bit of everything for everyone. The park is relatively large with an…read moreample amount of seating for the seniors in the area. You can bring your dogs and they can play and run in the park. You can bring your toddler or kids to play or have fun on the swings. Lastly, teenagers or young adults can come here to play basketball. This park is typically always filled with one of the aforementioned groups, but it's not overly loud, which is surprising because there's a lot of school age kids who hang out. There is ample space for picnics here too. Overall, I think it's a fairly good option in the neighborhood for some family fun!

    Solid (free) location to work on your tennis game on the 8 tennis courts here…read more McKinley Park is a VERY popular park during the nice weekends in the spring, summer and autumn. It gets extremely crowded at peak times (morning-early afternoon) and, for people looking to play tennis, there are typically outdoor tennis lessons being run on 4 of the courts during the morning and afternoon hours, so it is doubly hard to find an open court early. Activity does die down somewhat in the late afternoon, but it's still a very busy area. As for the tennis court conditions, they are OK. The courts are a little beat up and in no way pristine, but they are still legitimate tennis courts with the correct dimensions. Also, if you're driving to McKinley Park, parking spots aren't typically extremely hard to find, but there are a lot of cars parked all around still.

    Fairytale Island - Someone took off their fake nails at a place like this. Not just dirty but nasty and disgusting. I am so upset!

    Hosted my 4yr old girl princess ball theme private party here at 10am - since its Fairy Tale Island…read moreafter all :). I was blown away with the party coordinator, Cathy. She made herself accessible to any question via text leading up to the event and the two staff that helped us with the set up were very kind. I had 17 kids and 24 adults and the space fit them all comfortably. The adults were able to sit in the area outside the party room and eat while peaking over the half wall to check on their kids. The kids had pizza, fries, and honest juice. I love that the package came with cupcakes for the kids too. If you want outside food, there is a $85 fee so we just opted to order catering through them and had zero regrets. Everyone raved how good the food was (spinach pie, penne a la vodka, buffalo wings, and pork slouvaki). Turned out I over ordered and there were left overs. Probably only needed one full tray each instead of two pork slouvaki trays. The only downsides were their no refund policy for no-shows and they should of had a bigger coffee dispenser so the adults didn't have to wait for it. Otherwise, it was a fairytale party for everyone to enjoy!

    It was a miserable, rainy weekend and being desperate to find a play to have my son's energy…read moreemptied out, I decided to call ahead of our arrival to make sure two things weren't happening: 1- there were no birthday parties going on and 2 - it wasn't overly crowded. I was told no and no. I show up, a 3rd birthday party is in full swing, and it was JAMMED with kids ages ranging from barely walking to pre-teens. I was PISSED. Now I've hit the point of no return because I'm parked and here at the counter with my son yanking on the gate to get inside. There is really ZERO supervision here; I still have no idea who works here and who doesn't since no one has a name tag or a shirt on to tell the difference. Kids are running around, eating donuts in the ball pit, and screaming. You must watch your kids at your own risk. Yes, I understand it was a rainy day, but can you enforce some rules? My son likes it here because the music isn't "too loud" and he's right about that, but most of the toys are broken, old, or missing pieces. Can't even imagine when they cleaned down all the toys last; this place is showing its age.
