I live close by to Dukes Beach Park and it's a okay dog park. The people who come often have big…read moredogs which is not always work best in my favor with my mini poodle. Benji is a trooper and he loves playing with pals bigger than him. What i do like is how this park has a second gated area as an option for those smaller dogs who are too fragile to be around the big guys. The only problem i have about this park is the care and cleanliness the city focus on this dog area. You can tell the grass hasn't been touch for a while cause they're holes doles dig in and sometimes you can find turf if you're walking on the grass. This place has so much potential to interact with your dog or throw like little cute gatherings . But Instead they just have chairs thrown everywhere and bench tables flip where i found it useless at this case to even take up the space. They also have a water fountain which doesn't work all the time so make sure u have your water bottle handy !

This park is frequented by a lot of seniors that occupied all the side benches and some even sat on the grass areas playing card games. Asian aunties has their own setup in the center of the park dancing to their synchronize musics. The side road surrounding the park has lots of cracks and uneven pavements, that makes walking around kind of hard. Park opens late during the summer, so its easy to catch volleyball ball tournaments held at night. Overall, a great park to have fun and enjoy the day

People leave tennis balls and other toys for all the dogs to share + use. The park is divided into two parts- one side is bigger and has turf and other amenities while the other is a smaller area with dirt for shy dogs or dogs that are focusing on training. I've had a pleasant experience every time I came here with my pup. The other dogs are generally very friendly and the people are pretty nice too!

Dog run users are also fairly conscientious about not bringing in aggressive dogs. The Parks Dept really needs to step it up and bring the place up to the standards of Manhattan dog runs rather than blow its budget on 7-figure renovations of an overlook that few people even use and a million+ dollar skate park of interest to very few kids in this neighborhood.

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!

My pup and I really enjoy this dog park…read more I like that it's clean, the humans are friendly, there are places to sit, and she can run around to her heart's content. She likes that there are a variety of dogs and smells, a good stretch of turf to run, running water, and benches to jump on or hide under when it all gets to be too much. I only wish there was more shade in the summer!

Apparently, "frequent attempts to add active recreation facilities to this site failed as Parks determined that the site remain the most beautiful passive park in the city."

Today it was still covered in snow and ice from the recent winter storm we had. From what I've read it's also a decent catch and release fishing spot with largemouth bass, bluegills, and other fish populating the waters. Also, it's a 55 acre man made freshwater lake. I need to bring my rod here this summer and get some fishing in!

Unfortunately, there isn't a restroom around so be prepared! Otherwise, plenty of benches and a couple of tables, so get your pizza pies delivered here and enjoy a nice lunch!
