Confirmed from Brooklyn Bridge Park Greenway's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Brooklyn Bridge Park Greenway
“An absolutely beautiful place where you can easily see the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge.”
Amazing views of the River Café, Brooklyn Bridge, and Manhattan skyline. You can see landmarks like the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, and even the Statue of Liberty. The park is great for picnicking, jogging, or just enjoying the scenery. A must-visit spot for anyone in New York!
El paseo es muy agradable, el día de marzo fue soleado, casi caluroso, tuvimos suerte, mi esposa perdió la bufanda y la buena gente de Brooklyn, la dejo en un banco y al regresar por nuestros pasos, allí estaba.
Stunning views of Manhattan downtown. You can walk from Pier 6 to Pier 1 and then explore the dumbo area. It's one of my favorite places in NYC
