Come in the summer and sit by the fountain to cool off a bit. We mostly enjoy coming on Saturdays throughout the year for the farmers market !
Beautiful sculpture . Definitely resembling Paris in many ways. I love the farmer's market that they have here on Saturdays.
The Farmers Market and the Food Truck Rally are both awesome things to do on Brooklyn spring and summer weekends.
The Farmer’s Market every Saturday is worth traveling here for- right before the park entrance
One of the last truly chill places to sit and relax. The arch is the photo star, but the fountain wins irl

On 12/20/11, I was here to light the menorah. Happy Hanukkah!
Great spot for some fountain splash-action on a super hot day.
Chillax on one of the benches by the fountain and take in a classic city park view . Great for people watching and pretending to read a book .
This plaza bears the moniker "grand" not because of its size. It is, in fact, named for the Grand Army of the Potomac, which was the name given to the Union Army during the American Civil War.
When driving through, follow both the signs painted on the roads and the signs hanging above the streets. Otherwise, it is easy to get misdirected.
The bustling plaza adjacent to Brooklyn’s Arc de Triomphe and the Brooklyn Public Library plays home to green markets , food truck rallies , and more.
Ice cream and coffee trucks around the corner entrances are great to grab and enjoy the view

Sitting in the middle. If u miss ur stop this is a perfect stop to get off and switch trains without having to pay a fare again.
It would be much better if the city converted some of these car lanes to bike lanes or pedestrian area.
