Five acres along the East River on the site of the Domino Sugar Refinery, with an elevated walkway built from the old crane tracks and syrup tanks left standing in the middle of it. It runs from Grand Street down to South 5th, directly under the Williamsburg Bridge at the far end. Open at 6am.

Seven acres of lawn on the East River at the foot of North 8th Street, on the site of the old Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal. It was East River State Park until 2020, when the state renamed it for Marsha P. Johnson. The Manhattan skyline sits directly across the water.
Daily, 10am to dusk. Free
Thirty-five acres straddling the line between Williamsburg and Greenpoint, opened in 1906, with a running track around the playing field and a WPA-era pool at the Lorimer Street end. Sunday afternoons the soccer pitches are all in use. It is the one piece of open ground both neighborhoods share.
