WNYC Transmitter Park

I didn't know there is a park here next to east river. It is a small park and after long walked my puppy and I couldn't find a bench to sit so we just sat on the floor under the shade. Lots of people just lay down on the grass and enjoy the sun. Dog must be on the leech which is I like. Because the park is next to the water so they have a fishing area but no shade or anything so it can be very hot in the summer.

There are times in the city when you need a fix of flowing water. Of its sound rushing or dragging across the rocks, dredging the sediment from the East River’s silken basin. Those times should not fall during the summertime here—it is overrun by transplants, but that is a symptom seen throughout all of Greenpoint. Do take time to visit the flowing water in the wintertime. The chill brings a freshness to your bones, a youthful bite that even hyaluronic acid had a hard time achieving.

I've come here many times since I first posted these pictures. It's one of my happy places. I sit by the water and relax while I enjoy the view. I also enjoy the flowers when you first come into the park and walk the pathway. It never gets boring here. I love it in all seasons. I've seen Geese, Ducks and even Swans swim by plus different kinds of boats. Plus there are the helicopters and other kinds of aircraft. I've also met lots of doggies. It's really a wonderful park. I also love the big mural at the entrance. I have tons of pics that I've taken here. I will add some more to this review when I have a chance. I love Transmitter Park. 9/28/24. I love this place as much if not more than I did when I wrote this review. It is wonderful in all seasons. It's a great place to relax at and to check out nature.

We thought this area could be the spot to watch July 4 2024 fireworks but we were wrong (we browsed the online information couple months). Somehow they decided to move to Hudson yards area … sad I did manage to shot some fireworks 🎆 photos for memories in distance

The views! Tell em Barsnobs sent ya!

This feels like a secret park that you only stumble upon by accident or are told about it. Absolutely a hidden gem of a tiny park. lots of families, dog walkers and picnics everywhere. Seems to even be a popular fishing spot. Views are amazing over the East River looking to Manhattan (Mid Town I think). Honestly I would venture here just for the sunset and grab a meal at one of the nearby wonderful restaurants (eg: 21 Greenpoint, that had a Michelin bib award).

Small park with a playground for kid. Calm and quiet place to relax. Lots of benches available to sit. People bring their dogs to the park. Their is a pier that extends about ~200m into the east river where people where fishing. Their is a great view of the Midtown Manhattan skyline and you can even see Downtown Brooklyn, Downtown Manhattan Con Edison plant and the Williamsburg Bridge from the pier. I saw lots of locks on the pier, I assume people come here and place them for some significance… if you know why it’s done then please let me know what’s the meaning of this.

STUNNING views, especially in the evening when Manhattan is lit up. So peaceful, you hear the East River mini waves, great for dog walking. Compared to the Big Apple, this side of the river is super relaxed. Love the mural!
