1 Cadman Plaza E (at Red Cross Pl) Brooklyn , NY 11201 United States
The rubber track is integrated into the patch of trees that cicle the soccer field , once inside the track you are transported from the urban milieu, you are taking a walk through the woods!
Off leash hours between 9pm-9am make this park a downtown Brooklyn favorite. Well behaved pooches chase each other in the mornings while owners stay engaged. Great way to start the day.
A well-loved and beautifully landscaped park . One end is connected to the Brooklyn Bridge and the other is home to an awesome track ! Dogs can be off leash before 9am and after 9pm.
Great spot for ????2.5 loops = 1 mile. The track here is better for running than anything else in the immediate neighborhood . Trees provide nice shading on sunny days
Fine place if u wanna see its residents boldly let their pets relieve themselves on the grass out in the open in front of others..the same grass spots that people come to lay on to relax and picnic !
Are you ready to Make NYC Your Gym and Walk NYC! Enjoy hour long walks with other NYers on Tuesdays from 12pm-1pm and Thursdays from 7:30am-8:30am. For more information email rsvpwalknyc@parks.nyc.gov
Nice turf for soccer . Drinking fountains by the side. Bathrooms in the war memorial.
Good for jogging. Much less tourists than Brooklyn Bridge Park . One lap is about 0.4 mile.
Great spot to watch soccer games & to people watch
Great place to go jogging - the track is real track material and easy on the body. 1 lap = .45 mi. 9 laps is about 4 miles (but spring for 10 and do 4.5!)
I like coming to watch the amateur soccer games

Take a seat before you start your trip towards Manhattan on the Brooklyn bridge .
The open fields for children to run around and play
Great place to let your kids run around
Trees and benches , and a place to watch dogs play
The astroturf is cool, but watch out for the rats ! ????
Beautiful park very green
More of a wide sidewalk than it is an actual park
Watch the fireflies twinkle on summer nights :)
The track is really neat and unexpected
Why do all the trees in this park have "tree " written on them in white marker?
Passing in early morning and kicked a rat it ran passed my foot
People, let's run counterclockwise on the track , as nature intended.
Watch out, kids pop out of nowhere
It's rat city at night!
Dogs OTL after 9pm!

It's not called the Brooklyn Veteran's Memorial, which Michael Grimm's PR guys referred to it as to help his image. This memorial is for those who fought and died in WWII. - bmacmedia
