I love this little park with its cute curated garden. Not like the big botanical garden but nice for the neighborhood and dog friendly.
The garden is beautiful! The waterfalls and turtle ponds in the natural area are lovely. Maintenance is all volunteer and they do a wonderful job. Great place for a picnic
A very nice little flower park with a big lawn where you can sunbathe or play with kids or pets.
Very pretty, nice little sanctuary, away from the noise!! LOVE COMING HERE FOR A QUIET WALK!!
Great park, nice to be out enjoying a beautiful day.
This is a great place to sit and have a picnic, walk your dog, or just take in a few laps around the garden for some exercise. The flowers have bloomed for the summer and the colors and fragrance within are marvelous if youre paying attention. There are still areas that are closed off from the public, but hopefully with more volunteers they can reopen more of the scenic areas this year.
Beautiful, maintained community gardens. Nice place to take a stroll or have a picnic
A lovely hidden spot on Brooklyn. I didnt know it existed but do glad that I came here. Its so beautiful and the views are lovely. Plenty of shade if you you want it but also plenty of space out in the Sun if you want that, too. Great for kids, pets, couples, and even a solo date.
I go there with my kid ,but for some reason I see lots of dogs hanging around. It looks like a dog garden. But the place is clean and beautiful. Big thanks to volunteers that keep the garden this way!🙌🌹
🪴🌿🌼🌷🌵🌻It doesnt look like a typically botanical garden. Its the section near the port at Owls Head. They have cacti endemic to the Northeast and that survive all year round.
Love this garden! They have so many gorgeous areas. It is such a popular area in Bay Ridge, and many different activities are held here. Definitely come during the spring and summer months to see the garden thriving.
The Narrows Botanical Garden is back and looking better than ever. I went during the early morning hours and saw several volunteers and gardeners working on the property. I saw all kinds of lovely roses, hydrangeas, lillies, daisies and other flower species that I cant name at the moment. They have done a fantastic job at bringing the garden back to life for locals, visitors and pollinators.
Beautiful hidden gem in southwest brooklyn.
A nice place to walk around and enjoy some pretty plants. Taking your dog there early or late in the day could be a complete disaster with owners letting there dogs gang up on other dogs walking through the area
Delightful area between the harbor and the havoc of Bayridge. Stunning walking trails, seems to be pet friendly and there are dedicated neighbors taking care of the landscaping minus the mowing as the city is responsible but has done a lousy job. The grass is 2 foot high in many places...shame in you DiBlasio...open spaces should be maintained so that the community has areas to distance properly.
Really pretty. Great for a nice stroll
Nice maintained part of shore road. Pleasant to stroll though with the kids or your dogs. Flowers there are nice also has a nice view of the shore. Best to go around spring or summer.
Has pared down rose, Japanese, cactus gardens. Lol nothing impressive but if youre already on shore Rd, cute free place to stop
Real gem. Peaceful. Very scenic. Plants are in beautiful condition. Lots of families. Broken in to little section gardens. Great picnic location. Always a breeze. This is one of a couple of parks next to each other. There are softball and soccer fields nearby. A beautiful bike path all the way to the Verrazano Bridge is close by. Evening views are spectacular.
It’s a long very long along the highway and along the shore Parkway very beautiful place in the trees a little down shallow place for walk and hiking and some playing it’s not a plain place but still you can have fresh air you can have some jogging you can have some walk and you can park your car on shore Parkway and on the way back you can enjoy the shore Parkway right which is covered with a lot shady trees.
A beautifully well maintained area of Shire Road in , Brooklyn, Bayridge area to be exact. Excellent locale for just about anything you want to do nearby. Kite flying, softball, baseball, frisbees, bike riding, strolling, jogging,etc.. a true green gem in a city where greenery is a blessing.
Always clean and well maintained
Dog, bike, walk, run. Great place
To be fair, “Botanical Garden” may be a misnomer: this is an elaborate community garden built, designed, and staffed by neighborhood volunteers.A hop, skip and a jump from the ferry landing, it has one section blended into the nearby public park, and another gated section with a beautifully designed path winding across small, intimate ponds and a small hill.A quick, gorgeous little testament to community activism and heart. Watch out for the Turtle Crossing!
Lovely, well manicured and small garden park. Its more than just a park. Roses, some Japanese installations. Just effin go to this little gem.
The Narrows Botanical Garden is part of Shore Road Park in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. has its own independent Conservancy for maintenance and beautification of this four-block area of the park. it is attractive and does have accessible entrances for wheelchairs. There seems to be a shortage of benches within the park and that would help Narrows Botanical Garden rate five stars. Especially beautiful spring and summer this area is this site for many activities from season to season. Also adjacent to the Bay Ridge Ferry and the Baywalk. Very nice area
Very Peaceful And Beautiful Place, Highly Recommend For Those Who...? Want To Escape The City For A Moment 👌🏾👍🏾
Basically part of Shore Road Park. Its a little tree lined area with a beautiful assortment foliage and trees. Definitely a nice place to check out while walking around in the area. I wouldnt come out of my way just to come see this place.
There are some nice paths and flower beds. The sad thing is that the potential was not fully realized. It looks like all plans were abandoned. The fish pond is empty and there is an aura of neglect.
What a wonderful garden. The birds houses are adorable. That place is a buzz with beauty.
What a deserted place no flowers what a scam just a 2 min path walk its a nice park but not a botanical garden
Amazing Place, Amazing Food
These roses are just something...
So beautiful place 👍
Favorite park to stroll, dog walk, exercise
I went for a movie-in-the-park type of event. It was very low key and had a good community vibe going on. Its tucked in next to the BQE, but its a great place to soak in some greenery in Bay Ridge!
Great place to walk in the summer. Very well kept. Make sure to visit the chicken coop. Yes, there is a chicken coop in bay ridge! You cant make that up.
Beautiful place. Next to highway. Dont recommend for women at night a bit creepy if you alone.Besides that its great
Local community garden that has outdoor movies on summer nights and various fairs. Beautiful grounds kept up by volunteers. A Bay Ridge gem.
I love walking there
Great place for quiet viewing of the Narrows. Plenty of exciting events during spring and summer. Volunteer opportunities available.
It was beautiful
A nice, pretty little garden to relax in. Not a bad place to have a picnic!
Bayridge area of Brooklyn New York!
I went here for a date to watch a movie with a girl. I thought it was an actual botanical gardens but it was just a park close to the water with the highway seperating the actual field from the water. Maybe because we stayed in the field where they showed the movie but wasnt all that
A little gem of a park. Great for a sunset picnic.
A great spot to appreciate a well-kept garden with views of the NY Harbour!
Great for some relaxing time
A gem of a place in Brooklyn that we discovered when we were walking around in the neighborhood with our baby. It is small and free. There is a small farm at the other end of it where you can purchase eggs that recently came from the chickens there!
Lovely walk, bunch of squirrels and many trees worth taking pictures
Nice place to relax with your family or alone. A lot of different flowers you can find here. Very quiet area.
Nice place to visit.
Small little community garden but well maintained, if you stop by please donate because its community supported
A beautiful space created by local volunteers. Interesting plantings and a Native Plant Garden. Well worth a visit
Great place to walk. Quiet and not overcrowded.
Nice short walk with views of the Verrazano .
Flowers are blooming. Nice place to walk through
This place is a much needed oasis in bay ridge. So peaceful and refreshing, great for walks.
Beautiful little park near the water.
Its by shore road. Cute but tiny tiny tiny. It will take about 5 minutes to walk this Botanical garden.
The small fish pond is gone :( and there isnt much flower(s) scenery.
Peaceful and beautiful Bay Ridge park 🌞. Great job by the volunteer staff 👍
Small hidden garden, its clean and free not sure why would anyone complain about it.

Quiet and calm
I love this place my 65 year mother and I goes here to walk. I like to go to clean my head.

2022-03-01A very nice garden! Be careful not to harm any trees or plants, people will come up to you. A lot of people come by here to walk their dogs. Don’t suggest playing volleyball here because it can get lost on the highway
Review №4
2022-06-15Great park to walk through. Keeping this real, this is a small park along a highway. It even has a small library cabinet to borrow books during your visits. So bring a blanket on your next visit and enjoy their book. Warning, this small park has no benches, nor trash cans.

2020-11-13Seeking peace? Looking for tranquility? Searching for enlightenment?The Narrows Botanical Gardens, a little piece of paradise located near the narrow waterway separating Brooklyn from Staten Island, comes replete with peaceful ponds, tranquil flower gardens, and even, if you’re lucky, the odd enlightened hippy.On the well kept grounds of this meditation retreat, the searcher for truth and inner peace, can do so in the company of unafraid squirrels, slow flowing waterfalls, and in the midst of buzzing bees from the nearby Air Bee & Be.Also of note, make sure to take the time to smell the Hybrid Roses while dancing barefoot in this wonderful park.

Review №9
2017-08-06Great place to chill at. Maybe even sit on the lawn. Plenty of greenery for some shade if you wish. Only down side is the highway noise (allot at times), and its not a very large garden (if you wanted it to be big that is then I guess it being small is a negative). Upside: THOSE SUNSETS!!! Beautiful!Bonus: Just found out there are turtles here too.

2019-02-02Hidden little gem is a delight to walk through. I always see at least one person trending to the gardens. Plants are set up beautifully and each section has a plaque with info and the names of the plants. If you live in the area, you should be taking walks there. If youre visiting, this will make you fall in love with the neighborhood.
