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.

Hila Raz

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 .

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.

McCarren Park is overrated and I’m glad there’s an alternative

Alex Fredericks

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.
