Parks & Nature
We love walking/bike through Brooklyn Bridge Park. There are some great playgrounds at the end of Atlantic Avenue. When you get to the Brooklyn Bridge there are some great pizza restaurants and Shake Shack or you can continue into DUMBO for more sightseeing. If you like long walks you can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and into China town for dinner. You can also catch the NYC water ferry at Atlantic Avenue or Brooklyn Bridge and go to Manhattan, Governors Island, or to see the FDR Memorial on Roosevelt Island.
