Marine Pkwy, Marine Park

Marine Parkway, located near the Brooklyn Marine Park is a nice street. This street is a prime place in Brooklyn to live. This neighborhood was also fairly lively and filled with activity, a wonderful place for a young couple or someone new to the city entirely. Living in Brooklyn definitely has its perks, and this neighborhood is really part of the reasoning behind it. It’s easily accessed by buses, though having a car here might be the best thing for someone with a family. All in all, a nice street in Brooklyn.

Marine Parkway runs from Nostrand Ave to Fillmore Ave at the entrance to Marine Park, about a 5-block distance. It's a fairly quiet residential street, and the main reason to be here is to be on your way to the park. Marine Park is a terrific Brooklyn park, with a smaller section including playgrounds, basketball courts, tracks for walking/running/cycling, and ballfields, and then a larger section with a nature preserve and trails through the marshlands where you can often see and hear endangered birds. I grew up less than a mile away and have many happy memories of my whole family walking or biking down Marine Parkway to the park for after-dinner play in the summertime.
