Brooklyn Bridge Park is an 85-acre world-class waterfront park with rolling hills, riverfront promenades, lush gardens, and spectacular city views. Our list of amenities continues to grow as we work each day to revitalize this previously deteriorated industrial space and build a park that allows New Yorkers to rediscover the waterfront.
At times, areas are closed due to weather, construction, or maintenance.

To enhance and provide for the safety, well-being and enjoyment of individuals who use Brooklyn Bridge Park, and to ensure that each park visitor has the opportunity to use and enjoy the park, these Rules and Regulations have been established by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation.
The rules, modeled after many of the existing park rules for New York City and State parks, outline permitted and prohibited uses and activities in Brooklyn Bridge Park. In addition, they set forth the process for submitting permit applications needed to conduct certain uses, activities or events, as well as the criteria for review of such applications.
Below is a consolidated list of park rules most applicable to standard activities. This IS NOT a complete list of rules and regulations. To read the complete rules and regulations, click here.

Some activities or special uses require a permit. Commercial film and photo shoots, wedding ceremonies, league sports, single day events, or group activities (such as lessons, camps, school groups, or the like) must obtain a permit and meet insurance and other requirements.
Get a PermitSubmitting an application does not guarantee you will be granted a permit. Your application is not approved until you have received a permit from Brooklyn Bridge Park.
No, dates cannot be confirmed or held before an application is submitted. Permits are granted on a first come, first served basis. Applications that are submitted are given preference for a date or location. We advise that you submit your application as soon as possible. If the date or location you applied for is already reserved, we will work with you to find the next best alternative.
All applicants will be charged a $25.00 non-refundable application fee and a $1.00 credit card processing fee.
Additional fees may be required based on the nature of the requested permit and will be assessed after your application has been received.
Permittees may be obligated to obtain liability insurance for permitted events.
No, picnic tables and grilling areas are on a first come, first serve basis. When the grilling area is busy, we ask that grills are only used for one hour at a time.
Brooklyn Bridge Park does not currently offer pickleball programs, lessons, league permits or other permits for pickleball court reservations.
Please take all precautions to protect yourself and those around you by following NYC Health Guidelines.
