Awesome place
So hah...well, they can defenatly do better with this park. Is so many rats running around, plus there are homeless bums getting waisted there.. dog park could get a nice clean up, that park stinks a lot now. So hurry guys with clean up 😅. Its defenatly better then before but too many people doing bbq there when you cant do it. I mean, do it but then clean after your self...they dont, is always garbage left everywhere. Football field is nice but when they have big games, they drink, eat and leave garbage after them shelf...what a shame. About people who take care of the park, they do a good job now. Lot of work tho for them to clean up after everyone garbage. Thumbs up for you guys.
Nice place for barbecues and nice playground for the kids
Enjoy our dinner in the park with my son and husband love brooklyn
What a fantastic view. An oasis in the middle of a fast paces urban enclave. Nice park benches available for people to sit and read, or simply people-watch. Lots of mothers and nannies with strollers walking around. I understand sometimes they have special events. For example, celebrations during Gay pride week, school outings and even movie nights. It is a pity that some people leave pet poop behind.
Visit here about 2 -3x a week. Great group of kids for my 6yr old daughter to play with
No upkeep of this park, restroom was disgusting
I bring my niece and nephew here often and they thoroughly enjoy the park! There are a few design choices that make me nervous about the jungle gym for the bigger kids. There is also a climbing portion for the smaller jungle gym where my nephews foot has gotten stuck and cause him to fall with his foot stuck inside.Bathrooms are about what youd expect from a public park. If you have the option, just go home and come back.
Awesome Neighborhood Park! Gotta get there Early lol. A Few elders will be out there enjoying the Sun! And Niice Breeze. So the Earlier the Better when going to this Park.
Very clean safe 👌 for kids
Its fine for after school run with kids.
Love the park… on mornings so refreshing to go for a walk here
Horrible park! Tons of Crack heads
This park i Love because they renovated it to look much joyful for my bby granddaughter to play in, plus I always loved this park as a child myself
Very cute, has become an outside gym of sorts for locals during covid...bathroom as well...trees, benches, turn this way...people doing yoga and HI workouts, turn the other way and its cute little old people enjoying the shade
Nice little dog park for those with furry friends.
This is a nice big park for family fun. I had a Graduation BBQ for my son and we all had a ball. They have a place with monkeybars for the kids, swings, sprinklers to get wet. They also have a workout area, basketball, handball court and a huge field where the play soccer, baseball, football and kickball. They also have a dog park in the park. Lots of fun to be had there so, your whole family will Enjoy themselves.
Very nice and big park, my granddaughter loves it. She loves it when the water sprinkles are on. The only problem that I found was the bathrooms, they were dirty and two homeless guys were sleeping on the floor.
The field at Sternberg is spacious, there’s almost always a baseball or soccer game going on in the evenings. But it’s big enough that that can be happening and there’s space along the sides of the field for people to do their own workouts. The turf is pretty old and decaying though and it isn’t the cleanest turf, but it’s a big outdoor “field” in the middle of Brooklyn.
If you live in the neighborhood, this is a great place to go. The jungle gym is quite large and there is a separate kiddie gym. There are big kid swings and baby swings. Adjacent there is a basketball area and a workout area. There are two handball courts which people also use for tennis. All of this is next to a gigantic field used for soccer, football, baseball as well as individual work outs. Also a plus, the bathrooms are decent.
Nice baseball field. ⚾️
Great park for kids to enjoy all ages of children can enjoy themselves sprinklers in the summer time and great nyc parks staff there reccomened also has a feild 2 sided and a dog park,4 basketball courts,2 handball courts and grills to barbeque with staff permission and parties for your children with staffs approval first
A relatively lively place for friendly families in the summer, during the winter it’s deserted and a lot of gangs of teenagers hang out there. I have experience because I was one of the victims. Some students from I.S.318 there ice balls at me and my face was bleeding a little bit, the precinct were informed. One time my cousin got beaten up by a teen who claims he spit on his sister, which he didn’t. He was hostile towards us for no reason and when I tried to defend me cousin he opened up my backpack and threw my pencil case away. We ran away when a mother was yelling at our unknown bully to stop or she’ll call the police. The next day, we walked by and police cars were there. This is a park where I only feel safe if the place is filled with families with kids playing around.
Loved the dog park; not too crowded and very nice. Loved also watching the locals play baseball on summer nights. Stayed in the neighborhood for a week and this spot was very sweet. Doesnt have that very self-conscious modern-Williamsburg feel. Feels like good old Brooklyn.
Great basic dog park. And everyone cleans up after their pups.
Its an ok local park to go to with children. During the summer the park has sprinkles for the children to play. Great baseball field. Basketball and handball courts. However, at night there are many rats that come out.
Not sure it can even be classified as a park since there is no grass and almost no trees. Very small and sad dog park
The mens bathroom was horrible.
This park is used for multiple sports and its showed across the field. Turf is coming up across the field which is bad fir softball & Baseball. The lights are not working so night games a hard to play. The bathrooms are always so dirty... Unsupervised kids are always there picking fights.. Beware of this park..
Great place for the kids.
Good but there were men hanging out in the bathroom. Concerned because my son had to go in. Still I would visit again.
There is a fairly large turf field, accomodating softball, soccer, youth baseball, etc. Parking did not seem to be a problem. There is a public restroom. Park staff was on-site, cleaning. Subway is nearby. Saw neighborhood residents walking, and with dogs. The public restroom is an issue, specifically, the Mens restroom. I was there, yesterday, and there were 4 to 5 vagrants, clearly intoxicated, using the bathroom - for who knows what!!! One drunk was sleeping on a bench, outside. Another was nodding out, squatting against the wall, IN THE BATHROOM!! 2 supermarket wagons, with possessions, and junk, right outside door.
I grew up playing in this park, but it seems so much more chill now 😁 there is much more diversity and if they fixed it up better, this place could be GREAT!!
Clean, and so many activities for the kids to do. We stop in on memorial day weekend and there was still plenty of room for others. Wish my home state would be inventive like NYC
Playground, swing set, dog run are all really great for the area... the one criticism I have about this park is that on weekends a football league uses the astroturf field and the crowd can be rowdy. There are typically fist fights several times in a day among that group.
Relatively quite and lots of kids in the neighborhood so its a good opportunity for a child to make some friends
Really sad park. Lots of homeless living around and the park is not being maintained. Kids from Lindsay buildings need the park. Please helpppp
It had a big nice open field. The only downfall Id that when its hot, there is no shade. I plan on going back with my daughter ar the playground. Its a big park.
Excellent place in williamsburg to let the kids play, have a picnic, and use the bathroom during a brooklyn walk
Neighborhood has completely changed for the worse. All of the new residents are destroying, polluting and littering in our park. Super nasty. And OMG the dog park is even worse off. Goodbye to Sternberg Park and the Williamsburg that we knew and loved.
Great park to hang out at. Quiet, many activities to do. I love watching ppl be active in groups. #Niceverynice
Great especially in the morning, and very good wacth the children playing baseball games on sat. And the grown-up. Just a lot of fun.
Nice place but the bathroom closes too early (6PM) when the park closes at 1AM. We had to go somewhere else.
It was a park at one time but now it quite run down all the artificial turf is deteriorating and falling out. It is in need of a rehab for sure.
People smoking weed all the time there.. Parking spots are very difficult to find...
Everyone likes this parkLot of different sports are played here - Basketball, baseball, soccer, frisbee, football, racquetball. There is also a dog park, and a playground and a workout area. There is also bathrooms.
Bathrooms were closed at the busiest time Saturday evening but a nice park with rich latin culture.
Awesome turf park for sports. BQFL rough touch football is played here on Sundays in fall and winter months.
Love it! One of the few parks who’s lights allow you to continue to play throughout the afternoon!
Had to get me some D
I love the diversity of families that frequent this park. Theres a lot of old people from the surrounding projects hanging out in the surrounding benches too
One of my favorite fields to play on. I would give 5 stars if they fix the turf thats coming up.
Its nice but needs the park workers to do a better job in cleaning the mens bathroom
Not a place to go,too many homeless people all over benches,saw a park empty chatty and carrying on w these people,very dangerous for kids
Every day there is a baseball team playing in the field every single day afternoon they take the whole field for them selves but people who to play soccer cant play. This is really not fair.
Its a nice park with a lot of fun things to do for the children.
Been going here since childhood. One of my favorite parks with culture, softball, and good antojitos.
Nice Park in the neighborhood but theres the old men in the spring who are a holes and play softball and always complain besides that nice park
Good for the local area lots of children kind of hazardous when it comes to playing but the children seem to like it anyways
Hard-working employees in this park quite commendable,, only wish the bathrooms were in better condition
Have fun with your kids and be safe
Currently under construction so it doesnt have the best appearance.

Dont come to this park unless you want to get crossed over by me on the basketball court
Park is ok, but a lot of rats, homeless living in the dog run and smoking.
This park can use some serious renovations.
Grow up playing here lots of childhood memories

2022-04-07It was very nice and stress free! You can jog and exercise very nicely.
Review №2
2021-01-19Decently sized park with two dog runs for big and small dogs. The actual field is under renovation for a year, but there are basketball courts, a squash court, and a playground. Can get crowded in the summer but its usually never busy.
Review №3
2022-04-09Decent park it has handball court, basketball courts, a workout area, a baseball field, a child playground area and a little water Park section with sprinklers and swings but there is a lot of homeless people all over the park but other than that it is a nice park.
Review №4
2022-06-07It was the perfect place to visit, avoiding the late night bustle on Broadway while I ate my Double Quarter Pounder in peace and with the luxury of a park bench that not only supported my tired posture, but added an aspect of dignity to the act of engulfing.
Review №5
2022-01-16Good field for coed soccer. A little sloped but not bad. Better than playing along the water during the winter!

2022-04-12(We call this Lindsay Park haha) if you grew up around here, you know. Good park and good soccer field.
Review №7
2021-12-06The newly finished turf field and basketball courts are great! Dog park is a little dingey but theres a good group that uses it.

2019-02-14Solid spot to play soccer. A bit distracting trying to focus on the game when theres an incredible view of the East side of the Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn, but its worth it

2021-09-19I gave it one star because most of the park is under reconstruction so most of it is closed off to the public for over a year. The ballfield just had astro turf installed and the rest of the park is under construction including the handball and basketball courts. Only the playground is currently open to the public. In past years it has always been a great park and I expect it to be so again.
