McCarren Park

Brooklynites cram into this 35-acre park connecting Williamsburg and Greenpoint on sunny summer weekends for all-day fun. Splash in the public pool, crash a big-family picnic or catch an acoustic jam session before refueling at McCarren Park House – a high-quality concession stand with treats like small-batch ice cream, frozen margaritas and coffee from local start-up Blank Street.
