Canarsie Park — Attraction in New York

Canarsie Park is awesome. I grew up in this neighborhood and watched this park evolve into what it is today. I couldn't be happier, watching my community come to the park to exercise and get healthy.

One downside is the people who choose to speed down Seaview. Someone is going to get hurt and it bothers me that it might be a child. Also, the improvements of the park has had unintended consequences in the area of parking.

There's no parking for the people who actually live in the neighborhood. It would be great if the city would limit parking on the residential streets, to residents only. I, and my family have received parking tickets because we've been forced to park somewhere else because there's nothing available in front of our house or on our block.

Drivers: Don't drive down Seaview Road honking and pissed about the two lane traffic turned into one due to the double park cars on the streets & sidewalks.

Park goers: The friendly cops will warn you multiple times prior to giving you a ticket. And, you're probably thinking, "They can't ticket everyone. "And you're right, but if they do, don't be giving the Canarsie Park Popo any problems. They're just...

Canarsie Park is amazing! I love the track for power walking (others jog or ride bikes) . I especially love the path to Canarsie pier I've seen rabbits parakeets and a host of other birds there. The spots along the path under the bridge is kinda like a private little beach, lovely for some quiet time alone! If you like to work out and don't have gym access, you can walk up in the hills there are gym stations placed throughout the path up there. There are also wonderful picnic grounds there and its often full, you have to come out super early and leave someone there to hold your spot. is also It's really beautiful before dark. I've heard that nefarious things go on in there after dark so I stay away at night! Other wise its a...
