Brooklyn Bridge Park - Pier 6 - Beach Volleyball Courts

An amazing landscape with quite spots for picnic. The grass is lush. The spots for kids/toddlers are just wonderful: * Sand village (huge area with sand to build sand castles and just play with sand and water sprinkles)
* Water Lab - stone area with water running, sprinkles - listed as for kids ages 5+ -but many parents get inside with kids that much younger
*Swing Valley - different swings -babies, toddlers, kids and grown ups (tarzan style)
With hidden spots to seat in the maze of plants.
The only downfall is restrooms on weekends are just super busy.... no space to change if required or clean/shower yourl child with water after a play.

Are at forninos at bbp. The pizza was great and the vibe with water and bridge views were really cool.

I love the amazing areas they have constructed, the whole park and pier is spectacular.

Beautiful by the water and Fornino's, the Pier 6 Volleyball Courts is a nice spring and summer location for anyone looking to up their beach / sand volleyball game. Many nights, leagues like Big City Volleyball rent these courts for their games so come early. As a BCV league member myself, I especially appreciate the fence surrounding our court so the balls don't fly everywhere. Each fenced area contains 3 smaller than average courts, covered with sand. While bugs (especially bees) will frequent this area in the summer, having sand was an adjustment but takes away my worries about diving for the ball. All in all, I am a fan. Bonus points, right by the pier so this always offers a great view to catch the sunset.

This is one of the best parks I have ever been to. The landscape is amazingly tranquil. Add the views of the river and lower Manhattan almost makes you feel like you're in a whole different world. The children's play areas are amazing, from the water park to the sand box to the swings, my little one had a blast. Wish there was something similar or equally awesome in the Bronx. Gorgeous view of the sun setting.
