Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is below the famous Bridge within Brooklyn. If you are walking along the riverside you will discover it.

It's a really lovely green space with places to sit and relax and benches you you can enjoy the Manhattan Skyline and the East River.

There are places you can walk your dog and also play areas for children too.

A beautiful open space.

What a beautiful park offering incredible views of Brooklyn Bridge and the New York Skyline. We got here for 7.30am as the sun was coming up and took some beautiful shots before it got busy.

East Access to lovely public park
Sep 2023 • Family
It's a paradise for little kids. A wonderful carousel with $2 tickets and not crowded (Sat of Labor Day weekend), boats to watch on the river, places to run, shady spots to sit, and a large, indoor food court with many choices and nice restrooms.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is a NYC gem
Jul 2023
Brooklyn Bridge Park is a NYC gem! I love this usually quiet spot in BBP. Stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Well-maintained, great for picnics, walks, and fun. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike!

Must do when in Brooklyn
Jul 2023
Worth walking over the bridge from Manhattan or if you are already in Brooklyn, a walk or subway ride away.
There are many free things to do in the park, including free kayaking on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Saturdays and a family program on Sundays. 100% volunteer run, by The Brooklyn Bridge Park Boathouse.

Very fancy!!
Jun 2023 • Family
I changed my major at Temple this year to geography and urban studies and people think I’m a geography buff!! I am not that much of one but city life and cities bring me much joy!! I did a random presentation once about bathrooms in the city and how ladies always need to wait in very long lines!! I put a picture of the Bryant park bathroom and walked past it a few days after and I ran into someone who I haven’t talked to since fifth grade!! I happen to enjoy parks in the city and I went to this park today!! It was very green and had a lot of trees and flowers!! I happen to think nature is very good for a busy man who wants to chill!! They had a volleyball court and fountains and also a pizza place which we got lunch at!!
