Canarsie Park

This was a great park in the 40s 50s 60s after that it went downhill as well as canarsie. Lived in canarsie from 1937 to 1993 than had to get out. Great place and people in those days.
Try walking around canarsie at night. Still miss it. Even though Ii moved out in 1993

It would be the perfect park but people with dog they go there to walk they pet and the smell of dog is terrible if you go there you will need to home and put your clothes to wash as soon you get out there

Great park to work out in.
They have the track that goes all the way around the entire park.
If you want to put a little intensity in your walk and/​or run you can go off route and up the trails.
They have workout equipment along the trails.
They’re not out in the open, so if you’re self conscious about people watching you work out you don’t have to worry about that.
The only thing I dislike is the people who come to the park to sit & smoke.
I came here for fresh air.
I don’t appreciate taking in deep breaths of cigarette smoke in the middle of my work out.

I came here with my family for a BBQ and this park was popping with people bbqing. To be so many people it was pretty clean. I took one star away because I feel like the grass could of been a little lower. Other than that it was a awesome time and in would go again.

Pretty fun spot! I wish it was closer! Maintained very well, tons of fun obstacles (including a halfpipe) decent amount of ledges, 3 boxes spread throughout. There’s also a bunch of rollers and Manny sections. Super fun and flowy
Ground is super smooth. Bunch of scooter kids and a few kids on bikes but overall a decent crowd. Few kids just running around (aarrgghh)! But there were also some kids who were regular skaters, so u might run into someone u know here bc it’s pretty fun!
I recommend this park to anyone at any skill level. U can practice basics in one section, out of everyones way. Or u can also whip around like a bat outta Hell, just flowing throughout the whole park!
The best way to describe this spot is that it’s the minigolf of skateparks… it’s zany, yes super mellow and fun for everyone!

When I think «state park» I don’t generally think «industrial zone and highway overpass,» but this is apparently what you get in Canarsie.
I was tooling around on my bike this weekend and headed toward the water, as usual. I ended up at Canarsie Park, and was at first overjoyed to find the natural-​ish landscape and hilly paths behind the more standard meadow park area… however, as I climbed up an unexpectedly steep turn, I came upon what one would expect would be a heavenly light shining upon a beautiful view from a hilltop… and saw a bunch of cranes, broken, overgrown pavement and the Belt Parkway. Bummer. If I was a dude I woulda lost my… yeah.
I’m a little confused by the five star reviews because compared to other Brooklyn Parks, this one is just okay. I’m glad the neighborhood has a green space, please don’t get me wrong, but if you’re not from the neighborhood, this isn’t really much of a destination. Marine Park is within biking distance and is much nicer.

Canarsie park is hella dope. I have been living here for almost a decade and for some reason I never even stepped foot inside. Recently I started going and I must say it is a beautiful park. There is a baseball field, gravel path, exercise sections along the path, sand, two hidden ponds (with duckies awww), picnic area and more. It also has a skatepark which was recently built which is also very clean and sleek. Overall I dig it and I am so happy that there is a park near me that offers some serenity away from the chaos of NYC. Canarsie itself is a very suburban area and this place totally reflects that vibe.

In terms of Skate parks I give this place major kudos. The ramps and open space give me a really nice goofy flow. I was able to accomplish some of my skater goals and as a new skater I hit some of my major obstacles. Yay me!
The scene is chill and easy on the spit fires. Initially there were a lot of people and as the evening progressed it was just me, my board and open air. And, oh by the way…
Where your bug repellent!

This place has gotten such a makeover and it looks great!
Canarsie Park was under construction for years. Slowly, but surely, it revealed to us its true potential and it was a great bet. The expansion has created a grand space. Think of it like a mini Central Park, but in the hood.
There is a place for everyone here. I like to rollerblade on the running track and in the main entrance green area. Its paved walkways and hills are fun and the scenery is calming. People play soccer, cricket, baseball. you name it.
The skate park is a fairly new addition. Lots of teens are getting their knees skinned over there. I like to stay away from that…
On weekends, families like to have picnics and unregulated BBQs. (I don’t think fire is allowed in the park. However, that doesn’t stop people from grilling it up.)
The older parts of the park has the usual basketball courts and jungle gyms for the tots. I remember how much fun I had there as a child. I cherish those times.

Canarsie Park is good. I recommend it. I’ve been here twice this summer, for a child’s party and for a family picnic. The park runs along Seaview Avenue, with the popular parts ranging from about E 85^th Street to a little past Remsen. I set up by E 86^th and Seaview since the bathrooms are near there. It’s in Canarsie, Brooklyn, predominantly West Indian, and I love it.
People keep it clean for the most part. The last time I went on Saturday ⁸⁄₁₄ there was some garbage on the grass but not that much to complain about. I wish people would clean up after themselves but that is a whole ‘nother topic!
Bring your own toilet tissue and lots of hand sanitizer to the bathroom. There is running water in the bathroom faucets. The bathroom closes promptly at 6:00pm on Saturday’s, I’m not sure about other days.
Take the Belt Parkway to Rockaway Avenue to get here.
