Love this park as it is usually green through the year and has ample space to walk and sit. What I love about this park is that it’s never over crowded and yet it never feels empty either. The greenery is just stunning and given the size of the park you could totally escape the city noises for a bit and immerse yourself in some nature.There are a few areas to put down a mat and make a picnic or you could just use the picnic tables/benches in the park too. There is a public restroom and a kids play areas with swings, slides and also a water fountain where they can run around in the hot summer days.On Sundays there is a farmers market along with a donation drop off until around 3pm. The market is open throughout the year except during the colder winter months.The dog park is a good size and there are benches for the owners to sit down and hangout while the dogs are playing.There are a few beautifully sculpted metal sculptures. Squirrels and pigeons along with everyday birds can be see here through the year.There are a few good places to get coffee, drinks, pizza and groceries or even a proper meal to enjoy at the park a few yards from the park.

I grew up in this park and have seen the many renovations and work over the years. Today, it is even better than ever, with a great community, well kept space, farmers market, and events. The fields are always welcoming and full of picnics, kids playing, and dogs with their humans enjoying the dog park. It’s one of the few green spaces in the area. Lots of beautiful old trees, flowers, and general beautiful landscaping. We love to lay on the grass and bird watch and have even heard of a resident skunk. The pavilion in the center of the park allows for some shelter, whether you are getting together with a group or need to get out of the rain. There is a palpable sense of community in this intimate neighborhood gem. Enjoy live music often played by local musicians, take and even enjoy coffee, food, baked goods, and ice cream all surrounding the park.

Went to Down to Earth Farmer’s Market on a pouring Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products and the kindness of people. I got free veggies & bread that were delicious. I’ll go back in a sunny Sunday for sure.

Lovely local park! Adore the HUGE old trees and gorgeous bronze angel statue in honor of veterans. A perfect visit on a weekend. Stop at the nearby shops and cafés, then stroll through the park. Bring your friendly pup- they have a clean dog run here, too. Enjoy :)

My favorite park in Brooklyn! It is never too crowded, nothing weird has ever happened to me here, and there are plenty of benches and grassy spots for picnics. There is also a dog park! (There are no courts of any sort to play sports as it’s a smaller park.)

This is one of the best parks in Brooklyn! Pretty huge for a neighborhood park, this place is the true center of Greenpoint life. Kids and families playing. Dogs romping about in the huge dog yard. Farmers market on weekends. Recently renovated. Generally clean, calm, nice and wholesome. Really pulls the whole community together

The only reason Id rate McGolrick lower is to keep everyone else from discovering this gem exists. Better kept than McCarren and without the overwhelming crowds, though enough to keep the place lively.

The park you graduate to when youre sick of mccarren. Great boutiques and casual restaurants and only a couple of them look like a vc/mba project. Sunday farmers market has leveled up. Superlative ice cream shop off the Driggs side. Enclosed little and big dog parks (they are...fine). Occasional thirty person bird watching group on the weekend (complete with screaming children and baying hounds...city birds are so jaded)

Review №29

This park could be absolutely gorgeous with its layout, architecture & huge trees but it is not kept up at all. Bathrooms are horrendous.. filthy and never cleaned.. no soap.. no working hand dryer .. smells like foul urine..Fences are falling off enclosures, the lawns are not manicured.. rotting and dying leaves and dirty everywhere. It’s really a shame as this could be such an astounding place if someone kept it clean.I thought each park had groundskeepers who maintained it but there doesn’t look like there has been any work done on this place for months. It’s absolutely falling apart.Nice area and a really nice crowd of people in this neighborhood but this place is so run down and they could do so so so much with it and clean it up and revamp it.

A beautiful, quiet, hidden park in Greenpoint! Well maintained. Grass is very green and lots of mature trees that add a lot of ambience. There are tons of maintained benches too. No old slivery wood! There are a lot of people and kids but people are respectful of each other. No radios blasting. A lot of dogs being walked. But also a fenced dog run if you want to let them run. Also a kiddie playground with water sprays. And a grocery store on the east end for snacks and drinks! And huge Citibike docks at each end!What more could you ask for? A Greek temple in the middle of the park? Oh, they have that too!

Review №34

Victorian era park with large tree-lined paths, benches, a portico, and flowers surrounded by apartment buildings and a few restaurants and cafes. This park is not designed for sports such as soccer or baseball like some other neighborhood parks -- its more for sitting and strolling, though it also offers a dog park, playground, and public bathroom, and there is a greenmarket every Sunday (year round except for a short winter break) and birdwatching sessions. If you visit, bring some seeds and nuts for the pigeons and squirrels!

Review №37

Great park. The park is about four square block in size. The park has a decent dog walk, childrens playground and a nice farmers market on Saturday. Considering the resources that are allocated it (I imagine its on the low side), Id say that the park is taken care of quite well. I would have given the park five stars but held back due to the drunkards that conjugate and smoke adjacent to the playground.

Review №38

Playground is big but outdated. Would be nice to see new playground equipment added. Old, tall trees are fantastic however. Great shade for hot summer days in the park. Nice grass areas for babies n blankets. A farmers market was going on the day we visited. Nice touch. Water spray feature was pretty bad. If they update that, then this park gets four stars for sure. An A+ for trees and history, C for playground.

Took a walk through the park this morning with my son, and visited the newly renovated playground which looks very nice. It is separated one side for toddlers and preschoolers and the other side for older children. Theres even a sprinkler on both sides, for when the weather gets warm, they can have the opportunity to cool off. I also noticed that they added more picnic tables.

This park is one of my new favorites in New York. It’s well kept and neat but has a real natural vibe with scruffy grass and lots of trees, birds and squirrels. Great place for kids but lots of quiet nooks to relax in too. Dogwoods and hydrangeas blooming and this is love to me!

Review №45

Considering what theyve done to McCarren park, I cant wait to see this park after construction.I hope they do something cool with the Pavilion.I also hope they replace the restrooms.They arent the original ones but they are 50 years old.Some of those very old trees should be replaced with new trees since a big wind storm has already done some serious damage.I hope noone was hurt with some of those limbs that came down on the last big storm.Theres a fantastic playground and nice sitting area.When I was a kid 70 years ago there was no playground.Only fields, paths, and benches.

Great park, although it’s under construction at the moment. Great dog park for vaccinated and trained adult dogs, if you bring a puppy the regulars will tell you to leave until it’s trained. That’s not a bad thing, as a puppy owner, it’s a great thing. The benches are clean and the trails are kept clean by the parks department.

This park is a hidden gem. Untrafficked by tourists, it’s the residential flannel wearing hot dad hangout spot. They’re done with their high end fashion days. They can’t be bothered. Just a flannel. A dog. Fast sunglasses. And a general air of “I can’t be bothered.” It’s a nice park.Oh and also beware of the roving child gangs. They’ll getcha.

One time I saw a person kicking leaves in the air for their dog to jump at and it made my whole fall.Great park.

Hidden gem in Greenpoint. Most people think of McCarren Park when they think of Greenpoint and it certainly is a great park but hidden away just north of there is McGorlick Park, a small more secluded tree lined park. Just a great spot to be out doors and relax maybe do yoga, read a book or just sit under a tree. Dont expect skate parks and running tracks youll have to go to McCarren Park for that but if you want to avoid the crowds and noise those things bring then this is the park for you.

Review №75

Generally my opinion of the Msgr McGolrick Park is very good. I grew up across from the Park and have enjoyed it for almost 70 years. My exceptions to this would be the following. There is too many Adults that Sleep and Drink in the Park. Leaving behind temporary beding of all sorts. This also includes bodily waste and toilet paper. Look in the higher bushes to find the offenders. They also leave behind all their emptie containers, many of which are glass Whiskey bottles - most of which they break and leave VERY SHARP GLASS all over especially in the grassy areas where children and animals walk. My Dog has been cut more than once from this. Garbage pickup should be more often especially on weekends. People use the Park and think their parents work at the Park and will clean up after their poor cleanliness habits. Please pick up after yourself and your little party. Too many people sleeping in Benches that should be used for sitting - again too much drinking in the Park. Much of this is starting to cause a health hazzard, as you can see by the RAT HOLES by the Dog walk on the corner of Driggs and Russell. On another topic who is the parents, guardians or day care person that is allowing the child or children to continue to DIG ALL THE HOLES all around the Park. I have tripped a few times in the night time while walking my dog. Additionally, would people stop putting household Garbage in the Park for pickup. Who are you hiding from, use the garbage bins in your building. Stop the Children and their Adults from playing in and removing the rocks-boulders from the area where the rock feature is. There is a fence around it for a reason - YOUR SUPPOSED TO STAY OUT OF THAT AREA. I could go on, but tired of typing. Enough for now but start with these small changes. BB

I grew up on Russell Street right across the street from this park. my juvenile delinquent friends and I used to congregate in this park When We Were Young LOL I met my first love in this park and have lots of great memories. Its been torn up for a while now as they are redoing playgrounds... But its not the same since Greenpoint become gentrified. I often miss the old neighborhood because we knew who everybody was nowadays you dont know who youre sharing this park with.

McGolrick park is the quintessential neighborhood park. Where McCaren and other local parks are overpopulated spaces of grass, McGolrick is six converging paths that lead to a center plaza. There’s not enough room for activities such as kickball but if you want to toss a frisbee or play catch in a picturesque, shaded environment, this is your park.

Native Greenpointer here! So dang old school as a kid we called this place Winthrop park. Cuz the oldtimers in our day refused to call McGlorick when the name change occurred. Anyways the place was great in the 70s and still cool now. Went back there recently and saw the new generation di great things with the place. Farmers market is a nice touch.

If youre a fan of German horror flics, this is the park for you! Never a dull moment. You can eat a family sized halva and still be stuntin hard here. Hey is that a sheep? I cant really tell, you should try and pet it and get the 411. Why is she drooling?

Calm and nice park. Please be careful of the branches that sometimes fall from the high trees and some of them are considerably big.

Review №159

Nice park but needs regular tree pruning and lawn re-seeding. Fallen branches and tree limbs are left on the ground for weeks on end. Dog run needs wood chips. A little more TLC from NY Parks dept is definitely needed here! Also, more people need to pick up litter (besides me and the few parks employees they have).
