A former elevated train, this narrow park runs from the Village to Hudson yards. Watch the city transform as you walk the length of the park. Can even stop to watch the cars in its various traffic theaters.

Right behind the Public Library, this small park sees a lot of action: a christmas market during the holidays, yoga, concerts, and outdoor movies in the summertime. It's a nice place to sit and take a break from shopping or site seeing.

One of my favorite parks. It's a simple square in the beautiful brownstone neighborhood of Ft. Greene. In summer, this is a great spot for tennis. There is a farmer's market. It's a great spot to feel the local/family oriented side of Brooklyn
