This park features an elevated walkway with Manhattan skyline views, a sugar factory-themed playground, sand volleyball and bocce courts, water features, and a taco stand. Moreover, this park has a gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline and Wiliamsburg bridge. Parking is very challenging so it's best to take a public transit. As a first time visitor, I really like this park and its modern design. This park was not built when I was exiled to LA over a decade ago! Overall, I am glad I enjoyed this park and its stunning view. I highly recommend you visit.

Opened in 2018, James Corner Field Operations--the landscape architects behind the High Line--designed it as a tribute to the neighborhood's industrial heritage. You'll find striking salvaged artifacts from the refinery throughout the park, including giant blue gantry cranes, syrup collection tanks, and an elevated walkway supported by 21 preserved factory columns. Take a stroll along the quarter-mile riverside promenade for sweeping views of the East River, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the Manhattan skyline. Families can explore the Industrial Playground, a creative, factory-inspired play area with a sugar-cane cabin, sliding towers, and water-spray features. There's also a taco restaurant, sand volleyball and bocce courts, a dog run, and open lawns--plenty of ways to relax, catch the sunset, and enjoy time with family or friends.

Formerly known as East River State Park, it was renamed in 2020 to honor the iconic Black transgender woman, LGBTQ+ civil rights pioneer, and Stonewall uprising veteran. I love the Namesake Tribute that features an arched entryway designed to mimic Marsha P. Johnson's signature floral hair crowns and is inscribed with her famous motto, "Pay it no mind." The park is beautiful, but the view is outstanding. The view offers sweeping, direct views of the East River and the Midtown Manhattan skyline. You can see iconic city architecture across the water, watch boats pass by, and enjoy popular sunset viewing spots along the open waterfront.

I could keep on about his not-so-shabby list of accomplishments but I'll refrain. Cooper Park, on the site of Mr. Cooper's old glue factory, seems pretty low-key. Even friends who've lived in Williamsburg for years and years only recently discovered this park. There is so much to keep you entertained: peoplewatching (hippie dad doing yoga on the grass), dogwatching (adorable puppies!), families grilling out, dudes skateboarding, men playing handball (complete with arguments). Stuck between 4 and 5 stars for this one but I'll round up to 5. On a sunny afternoon, bring a blanket to lay out on, plop down, and enjoy Cooper Park!

Either way, I don't mind because the dogs that come here are usually really sweet and they play well. I haven't had an issue with any of them being overly aggressive. There is a smaller sized dog run and a larger sized dog run: both are open to dogs of all sizes. The larger size dog run has more benches and seating. For some reason, people leave extra balls, toys laying around for neighbours and there are always water bowls. Bring water for your dogs though (this is why it's minus one star) because there's no running water. While we're not super far from McGolrick, which I've heard has a fancier dog run, this does well because the neighbourhood dogs are so friendly!

Thus, I decided to continue my exploration of Greenpoint, Brooklyn and decided on another gorgeous fall day, a park visit was on the top of my list. Here's what Transmitter Park offers you and ME: ( Note how it hits all my checkpoints above): - Accessible by G train and stop is Greenpoint, exit subway from Greenpoint NW corner staircase. Take Kent street all the way down. As you walk, take note of the street scene on Manhattan Avenue, what a cool multi ethnic world to take in... - Bit of history; WNYC radio use to program here and then a couple of years later the park became a beautiful open space to the neighborhood ( it's neighbor, Domino park transformed from a Sugar Factory into a smorgasbord for fellow Williamsburgites). Hmmm, Brooklyn knows how to transform dormant property into beautiful public spaces.. YES! - As for Domino Park, it's a thirty minute walk from this park if you're up to two park visits in a day - The " loves me, loves me not" mural as you enter park is breathtaking - There are benches to sit and just calm your mind - A pedestrian bridge allows majestic views of Brooklyn and Manhattan - Greenpoint Terminal Market on Noble Street offers a lively shopping experience.. I didn't check it out this time but I will be sure to next visit - There are wonderful establishments for all taste buds: The Green Pot for tea and lovely snacks, Forninos, my other pizza favorite, Karczma for kielbasa and borscht. Today I ate at Paulie Gees Pizza Slice Shop and took dessert home at Peter Pan Pastry shoppe. As I continue to explore the marvelous borough of Brooklyn with a kids state of wonder, I really took a moment today to really marvel it and am reminded how lucky I am. Brooklyn: YOU ROCK!

WNYC Transmitter Park is a scenic waterfront park located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, built on the…read morehistoric site of the former WNYC radio transmission towers. The park offers stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, a well-maintained large lawn, children's playgrounds, cultivated nature gardens, and a recreational fishing pier. Opened in 2012, it features a meticulously restored Art Deco transmitter building that now serves as a historical landmark, and a pedestrian bridge that gracefully spans over a tidal wetland, connecting different areas of the park. The park serves as a vibrant community hub for recreational activities and public events, actively supported by the volunteer group Friends of WNYC Transmitter Park. Transmitter Park may be small in size, but it is packed with character. It boasts incredible views of Manhattan and is remarkably beautiful. My daughter and I recently visited and found it to be a peaceful, serene space. What I appreciated most was how the park creates a calming atmosphere--sitting at the water's edge, you can enjoy the soothing sound of waves and the refreshing gusts of wind. It's a place I highly recommend for anyone seeking a tranquil outdoor escape.

The place had a nice vibe, along with views of the William Vale hotel, as a backdrop. I'd definitely return here in the future.

It's utterly gorgeous and it's also located next to Industry and old stuff and it's beautiful. They have rejuvenated the area like crazy, and it is the very definition of gentrification you could say. It's next to the Domino Sugar Factory, and the skyline is dominated by that, and you can also look across to the beautiful Lower Manhattan vista. And of course like others said, get splashed by the toxic (not in a hipster way) East River whenever a boat goes by. I love it and it's one of the best to use but there are so many good ones.
