Outside in Bushwick

A full square block of park that Kings County bought in 1895 and laid out with curving paths the following year. The brick shelter in the middle went up in 1905 and is still there. This is the only real green space at the southern end of Bushwick, where the venues thin out.

Playground hours 6am to 9pm. The paths and benches are open through the day

Bushwick's main park, seven acres between Knickerbocker and Irving, with paths laid out in 1896 by the same landscape thinking behind Washington Square. It was renamed in 1989 for a resident who organized her block against the drug trade and was killed for it. A 2007 mosaic of a green parrot near the entrance marks the neighborhood's Puerto Rican community.

Daily from 6am until 1am
