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
Grand Ferry Park in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn is like a little slice of the beach on the East River , complete with sand! Read more
This little park on the Williamsburg waterfront has superb views and feels beachy, with sand and crashing waves.
My favorite park in the city . Take a seat on the rocks, enjoy the view and unwind.
The view and community garden are awesome. Close to coffee and trendy stores if that floats your boat.
Pretty little park on the East River . Come at sunset and admire Manhattan's skyline from Williamsburg's shore.
Great views of Manhattan from here. Perfect place to take a pause.
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 ????
There's a nice little water fountain hiding by the picnic tables . Great for refilling your water bottle after a bike trip up Kent.
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.
Get the benches at the front.
View’s great, but come before the neighborhood gets overcrowded!
The waterfront views are breathtaking ????
Nice views of Manhattan , especially before sunset .
Do not go here to watch the 4th of July fireworks . You won't see a thing.
Best sunset view in NYC
Grab (or share) a picnic table and enjoy the breeze!
Looks great at night.
Sunsets/date night. Before they make it into an apartment building.
You can see beautiful sunset .
Go when it's cold or raining and you can have the park to yourself
Great view .

Very cozy place to work and good ice coffee. Even in the inside of the place you feel like out-door because of the skylight! - İpek A.
Scenic view. Try coming in the winter - the crisp cold air and moody clouds can be breathtaking. - Bommy
