This is an amazing park. My favorite in Brooklyn. It's great for locals or tourists looking for a rest. It's what my tax dollars pay for and I big reason I live in the neighborhood. - Lauren Dellaquila
No need to come early to shows. Always seats and great food and drink selections. - Michael Anthony
Good for picnics, laying down, and frisbee. Flying a kite is also pretty neat with all the hills - Doraly Pantaleon
