Sightseeing
Domino Park is my favorite park in Brooklyn. Located just a few subways stops away, this newly renovated park has so much to offer in terms of views, sports, food, lounging and art installations. It has amazing sunsets and over looks the Manhattan skyline!

Parks
This is a very lovely park about a 10 minute walk from the apartment going down Marcy ave. There is a dog park, a tennis court, playground and plenty of areas to sit and have a picnic on the green grass. Families and locals from the area all gather here and enjoy the green space together so you get a great sense of the community here. I highly recommend visiting this park as it is very close to the apartment and is a great place to have a lonely afternoon lounge.
