Beautiful little park with some iconic views on Manhattan. The only drawback is the super noisy trains crossing the bridge.

Great park for couples and families with amazing views of downtown Manhattan!

Gorgeous views all the way around.

One can get lost for hours strolling around DUMBO and its surrounding neighborhoods between all of the parks, stores and general sights to see.

Bundle up during cooler months for the sometimes stiff breeze flowing off of the water.

Beautiful slice of paradise in an urban jungle.

Beautiful views of the Williamsburg Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge.

This place is definitely more beautiful at night. It’s a must go place for instagram pictures.

From its unique vantage point north of the Manhattan Bridge at a dramatic bend in the East River, John Street opens up vistas and waterfront space never before enjoyed by the public.
Gorgeous spot to get a portrait of the Brooklyn and the Manhattan Bridges. I love the rocks by the water, you can just sit there and kick it back. There’s really no words to describe the great views you get of the Lower Manhattan skyline. If you love bridges, you’ve got to come here. Because the Manhattan Bridge has the subway running across it, you can hear it. In the park, it’s not too loud, but the closer you get to it, the louder it is, so caution to those who are sensitive to loud sounds. Adding pictures of the streets near the park too.
Overall: Beautiful little park in DUMBO area with spectacular views of Manhattan skyline and the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges..
