Calvert Vaux Park (formerly known as Dreier Offerman Park) is an 85.53-acre (34.61 ha) public park in Gravesend, Brooklyn, in New York City. Created in 1934, it is composed of several disconnected sections along the Belt Parkway between Bay 44th and Bay 49th Streets. The peninsula upon which the park is located faces southwest into Gravesend Bay, immediately north of the Coney Island Creek. The park was expanded in the 1960s by waste from the construction of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and was renamed after architect Calvert Vaux in 1998. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, also known as NYC Parks. #fivestarcalifornia

Dear City Park Management, WHAT DID YOU DO!?! Why did you have to cut so many perfectly healthy grown trees?!? I am literally crying looking at the previously gorgeous naturally picturesque park looking so bare now! The growing trash you could care a little about - it is still there piling up at the most scenic spots, but someone thought the trees got to go! I'm speechless. Those trees don't take a couple of years to grow they need decades to become real, strong, and healthy. I want to know WHY!?! UPDATE a year later: THEY CUT MORE TREES, THE GARBAGE IS STILL THERE.

on a state of May 16th of 2024- This is my first time in this park and compared to other parks in Brooklyn this is probably the most depressing. Apparently the head of Brooklyn does not have money to spend on staff and the park. There are no garbage cans. And if there are, they are full of garbage and they have not been removed for a long time, the grass has not been cut, the asphalt has fallen apart, a very sad sight, I did not expect to see this!

First time visit to do some soccer training. It's fress to get to, unless you live on the other side of the Belt Parkway, but many avilablety . They have the nicest turf soccer fields that I've seen in a public park. Great place to watch sun set on other side of the Verrazano bridge. Free parking and ample playgrounds for family outing, barbeque and games.
