McGolrick Park in Brooklyn is one of my favourite fun places. This park is a hidden gem. I almost don't want to tell anyone about it, because I am a selfish, fun-place-hogging person! Ok, I'm not really, because I am telling you about it, but I do hope it stays relatively quiet and nice. I can only think that people don't know about it, or else everybody would go there all of the time. Like I do! Or plan to, and then get too lazy to leave the house. Either/or. It's so special to have places like this in the city.
McGolrick Park not much further from the subway than the dusty, overcrowded and much more popular McCarren Park. I am not hating all over McCarren park, but there's drawbacks. There you are likely to be pelted in the face by a hipster's errant, ironic kickball, but not at McGolrick! Go during the week, and it's like a private park. A private, leafy, beautiful paradise! Except I will be there, probably. Or not if it's a lazy day. So a private paradise with you and one other person. Maybe.
McGolrick Park: a TV star.
