One of the city 's great treasures. Stunning views of Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge and the harbor . A great place to bike or walk.

Running, playing league volleyball and enjoying a sunset view over NYC's downtown skyline never gets old at Pier 6. One of the most beautiful places to go on a summer night in Brooklyn

YanaBelle Wave

Bring the kids or enjoy a run or walk in the park . A really great park except for the little shade that is provided in the water lab area

Cole Kennedy

These parks are nothing short of magnificent. Find a secluded, grassy patch behind the trees , spread out a blanket, grab a pizza from Fornino , and have a great evening with friends.

Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 seems to be the kiddy area. You’ll find Slide Mountain , Swing Valley & Water Lab here. Volleyball courts are also here.

At the entrance/exit to/from pier 6, you’ll find plenty of seats & shaded area .

The playgrounds at Pier 6 are whimsical and awesome. I wish I had playgrounds like this as a kid.

Savoteur

Just go where the people are not. Frolic through the peonies while the volleyball courts are full. Soak up sunshine in the fields while you gape at the millions of workers crammed in skyscrapers . Read more

laura rubin

You will have to walk a good 20 minutes if you enter the park off high st. The $4 ferry at Pier 1 also goes to governor's island

Love this park but I think they should have add more kid friendly activities. Also more bathrooms .

Three public courts on Pier 6 invite guests to play a game, watch a tournament, or a join a team.

Bring a good book and a beach towel and curl up on the grass

Derik Boik

I think this is a really pretty playground BUT it's also sort of a nightmare. It's so crowded and the thick bushes make it almost impossible to keep an eye on your kid if there even 10 feet away.

Chieko Bonna

This place has lots of cool playgrounds ! Ride your bike , almost no public parking .

Brea Simpson

Beautiful park with tons of activity space.
