My son joined Brooklyn Basketball Academy (BBA) during the fall season last year, and he has made…read moreincredible progress during his time there improved, especially with dribbling, shooting, and strength training. Coach Gio and Kyle are always very helpful in ensuring the players practice their drills and understand the fundamentals of the sport while having fun and teaching them sportsmanship on an off the court. They offer travel games but also have in-house league games, so the kids learn offense and defense while working together as a team. BBA has also helped my son develop emotionally as a young man with the positive influence of his coaches. He was allowed to volunteer this summer and help coach the younger groups, which has only helped him love the game even more and understand the importance of mentorship. BBA not only has one of the nicest indoor basketball courts in Brooklyn, but it's also a great environment. They have built a community, not just an academy.

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!

With a much needed makeover this park has transformed into a neighborhood gem. Children's…read moreplayground is more vibrant and lively with lots of monkey bars and slides for kiddos to run and play. 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

This is the playground side of the park where…read morethe children's slides and swings are located, and right across the street is the basketball court. This park isn't crowded and play areas are wider and bigger than other parks in the neighborhood. There is the occasional weirdo that sits alone silently near the park bench with their beer can in hand; so parents watch your kids closely. During the summer time the tree in the center of the park provides a good shaded area for a short break. Overall, a nice park in BayRidge Breoklyn.

However, now they've decided to take away all late basketball open court hours and give it to basketball academy and adult pickleball. They only have late open court hours on Thursday night from 7 to 10PM which causes a large influx of people on one night and it's impossible to do anything. For comparison, late open courts hours used to be 3 to 4 times a week from 7 to 9PM. The gym also gets very crowded due to their limited machines and gear. They're pushing for more and more kid related activities and leave out young adults and adults. I would suggest signing up for the YMCA or another gym that's geared toward adults if you're not a parent.

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.

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!
