I love McCarren Park!

This Domino Park is beautifully renovated into a modern park. Not really a children's park in my…read moreopinion. Looked more like a museum or some nice walkway to enjoy sightseeing of the Williamsburg bridge and the lower east side views of Manhattan, which is not that spectacular in my opinion because there are too many government buildings in that section so it's all brown over on the Manhattan side. Oh wells. Other than that, I'm shocked to see nice bathrooms a block away from the park for Domino Park guests! The bathrooms were really nice and modern! Each bathroom had dimmed lighting with a baby diaper changing station. One of the bathrooms was dirty with pee on the floor so I had to go to another one. Did not expect these nice bathrooms to get dirty like that! There were more bathrooms downstairs besides the ones on the first floor. The door to the bathrooms was very nice too! What a great job they did to this park. I cannot believe the Domino sugar factory still exists or is standing because I used to take the train and they be doing construction for many years for I don't know what reason. Looked like they turn downstairs into this nice modern park. So I went to the park to go to a Target pop up and got some nice freebies. There was enough space for pop ups and large crowds. Need to check out the rest of the park next time I'm here. Too bad there is no subway or trains going to this park and you need to resort to buses that take forever to arrive.

With the clock ticking and almost running out of daylight, I decided to walk another couple of blocks towards the river waterfront to hopefully find a spot where we could see the sunset, and this is how I made it to Bushwick Inlet Park. People always say that things happen for a reason and I couldn't agree more in this case. One of the things I like about NYC are the sunset city skyline views when you see it from the distance. Bushwick Inlet Park was perfect for this. It was a quiet and well maintained park with a few people walking around. Really loved how quiet was. Can't be happier I made it here.

Super quick, easy, and the views are amazing. The North waterfront has gorgeous condos and a killer skyline backdrop, so the ride feels like a mini adventure. Prices are way better than rideshare: $4.50 for a single ride, $29 for a 10-ride pack, or $15 for a 2-day pass. The taxi runs about every 15 minutes and connects North & South Williamsburg, Dumbo (Brooklyn Bridge), and Wall Street. It's not just for visitors--lots of residents use it as a convenient way to commute to and from work. Perfect if you want something affordable, scenic, and stress-free. Quick tip: Try riding around sunset for incredible views of the skyline, and grab a coffee before boarding to make it even better! Highly recommend giving it a try--you'll save money and get a view that Uber just can't offer!

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!

I learned that this waterfront space was once the site of a radio tower. Because it was early morning, the park was quiet and empty. A few people were walking their dogs on the pier, which overlooks the Manhattan skyline. What caught my eye even more than the city waking up, however, was the large mural against a red brick wall. It shows a woman lying down, plucking dandelion petals. It was whimsical, especially once I noticed the frog beside her. I appreciated discovering this small pocket of the city and enjoyed the moment of peace before my day kicked into high gear.

It's actually not all that nice so I don't get the 4 and 5 star reviews but to each their own. This area was once a ferry landing that served the citizens of Williamsburg before it became part of Brooklyn. it was called the 19th century Grand Street Ferry. It transported goods and passengers across the East River to Manhattan. There is a relic of an old smokestack from a long gone molasses plant that used to be here anchoring the park.

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.
