Sand covers the ground in summer, and if you sit on one of the benches just feet from the waves that crash against the rocks, you can almost pretend you're at the beach . Read more

This little park on the Williamsburg waterfront has superb views and feels beachy, with sand and crashing waves.

Amy Shackelford

My favorite park in the city . Take a seat on the rocks, enjoy the view and unwind.

Mark Heyert

The view and community garden are awesome. Close to coffee and trendy stores if that floats your boat.

Laura Bonelli

Pretty little park on the East River . Come at sunset and admire Manhattan's skyline from Williamsburg's shore.

DoubleDeuce

Great views of Manhattan from here. Perfect place to take a pause.

Josue Garcia

Nice place to go and relax from the city . Don't bother going at night, packed with people who couldn't get a motel room ????

Aaron Christopher Cohen

There's a nice little water fountain hiding by the picnic tables . Great for refilling your water bottle after a bike trip up Kent.

Richard Lowry

Sandwiched between a power plant and five blocks of Domino Sugar factory , and anchored by a 70-foot-tall brick smokestack from a long-gone molasses plant.

Chris Gampat

Get the benches at the front.

Ruthie Osborne

View’s great, but come before the neighborhood gets overcrowded!

The waterfront views are breathtaking ????

Justin Ordoveza

Nice views of Manhattan , especially before sunset .

Do not go here to watch the 4th of July fireworks . You won't see a thing.
