Brooklyn Bridge Park
Brooklyn Bridge Park has become so popular in the five years since it debuted. The project has transformed a chunk of the Brooklyn waterfront into an 85-acre expanse; several sections house unique attractions such as Jane’s Carousel, a restored 1920s merry-go-round, and riverside esplanades with gorgeous Manhattan views. Its latest addition, Pier 2, designed specifically for “active recreation” sporting leagues, picnics and roller skating, further cements the space as the city’s premier urban playground.
