Brooklyn Bridge Park

Example
The circuit is the bridge walk down into DUMBO, Jane's Carousel, sunset on Pier 1's lawns and the ferry back rather than walking the bridge twice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ideal Brooklyn Bridge Park circuit?
Walk the bridge to Brooklyn, descend to DUMBO for the Washington Street photo and pizza, ride Jane's Carousel, then sunset on Pier 1 and the ferry back.
Is the ferry back to Manhattan worth it?
Yes, NYC Ferry from Fulton Landing gives skyline views for the price of a subway-ish fare and beats retracing the bridge tired.
How much time should I give the park?
A full golden hour at least. Pier 1's lawns frame bridge, skyline and harbor in one view, and leaving before the light turns wastes the reason to be there.
