This green oasis in the middle of Greenpoint is the most pleasant surprise you will come across. Beautiful any time of the year, the picturesque park opened in 1891. Read more
This was originally called Winthrop park , but Winthrop didn't have any kids, so no one contested the name change to honor Pastor McGolrick.
Best park in Greenpoint with awesome farmers market and dog park
Grab a coffee from Variety nearby, relax on the benches and ogle the cute frolicking dogs in the dog runs .
Spend some quality time with your licensed pup at Monsignor McGolrick Park Dog Run . For info on dog licensing visit: http://on.nyc.gov/M85uPu. For more info about dog runs visit: http://bit.ly/Ra5S4w
Beautiful, quiet , and much more stately and elegant than McCarren. Reminds me a lot of Tompkins Square Park , actually.
One of my favorite parks in NYC. Lots of benches . Not a lot of traffic nearby. Beautiful colonnade in the middle.
Great neighborhood park with big shady trees to make the heat of summer tolerable.
Nice park in central greenpoint. Lots of trees and close to restaurants and take outs
A lazy, quiet , and beloved park hidden from non-Greenpoint residents.
Good place to bring your dog. Everyone is dog friendly !
Check out their new farmers' market on Sundays 11-4pm
Keep an eye out for the dumb owners who let their very excitable put bulls run off leash at night.
The rats here have really bushy tails.
Great for picnics !
McGolrick Park boasts a city landmark since 1966: the classical Shelter Pavilion.
McCarren Park is overrated and I’m glad there’s an alternative
Make smoochy noises at the squirrels. They'll run over and stand on their hind legs, thinking you're gonna feed them. And you SHOULD feed them, or they'll stab you. In the FACE.
don't play in the dirt. nice park to stroll through and/or live on. :)
Take a moment to connect with nature and wildlife watch. Bird, mammals, plants and more... Read more

Who's the genius that suggested bringing sticks to a park ?
Throw a frisbee or whatever.
I have never been here before. What a beautiful park , especially after the rain.
