I always wanted to come and bike here but never made on time during weekdays since the parks closes after dusk.

Little did I know this a former NYC landfill. They covered it with new soil, and now the smell that people would feel when driving thru the belt pkway is gone, making it much better to look at.

It’s a clean space, with trash and recycle cans that help.

Definitely a place worth visit with your family on a sunny day.

Park has two parts.

Smaller one is easier to reach from Belt if you ride from Coney Island.

Bigger one harder to walk around and very limited parking space.

No shades if you are here in the middle of a hot sunny day. Be aware that just a few small trees there and picnic tables with umbrellas can be limited.

It's great for someone who loves bikes

The most quiet park in NYC. Perfect place for long walks or riding your bike. If you forget your bike they rent bikes for free. They don’t allow pets, alcohol or bbq.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the nice views or to run/bike.

The bike paths are either roads or gravel. There are a lot of toilets and resting areas. Bring your own food and water!

For starters my pictures dont do this place justice. I love this park. It is so peaceful. The opening to Jamaica Bay is serene. This is an ideal place to meditate, take in nature while walk/jogging, or just sitting by the rocks and listen to the waves crashing. They also have bike giveaways periodically for children. This is the best thing that has happened to Brooklyn in a long time.
