Quarantine Birthday Edition: Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5

Pier 5 is dedicated to active recreation and features playing fields for soccer, lacrosse, rugby, flag football and Frisbee. Players and spectators can watch the games from the bleachers and benches situated along the sidelines. You can plan a picnic on their 30-foot wide promenade for a meal with views of lower Manhattan, Governors Island, and New York Harbor. It was a sight to see!

Hiking at Harriman State Park

The best times to visit Harriman State Park are during the summer and fall seasons. While the park is open year-round for winter lovers too, during the summer all trails, campsites and lake areas are open and completely safe to enjoy.
