The East River Park is more than ready for its close up. In the summer, you can catch a breeze off the East River, and the tennis courts (just north of the Williamsburg Bridge), baseball/softball fields, and, especially, the gorgeous soccer field (at E. 6th Street) all draw a crowd. Shoot hoops with your kids at one of the basketball courts or check out a game of cricket! The park also offers areas for barbequing.
The esplanade is packed with families biking, and joggers, and folks just out for a stroll.
East River Park is the largest park south of 59th Street in Manhattan. As the weather gets warmer, toddlers romp in the tot-play water area, complete with harbor seal spray showers. The park also includes gardens, walking paths and pedestrian seating.
Asphalt volleyball courts and asphalt basketball courts are available as well.
