A trip to Sunset Park.

We get off the subway and head down to the waterfront...

More can be seen here, but for now let's head up to Fifth Avenue...

Walking uphill, looking back, off in the harbor...

Here we are at Fifth...

Down the street and up into the Park...

This sign's warning, unfortunately, was not heeded. In fact, one child was mercilessly beating the fence with a baseball bat.

But anyway...

Sunset Park at sunset...

Back down the street, time to head home...

Back past Fifth Avenue...

Just a few more interesting sights along the way...

Oh man, I love Brooklyn. Each time I visit New York City, I like Brooklyn more and more. Not sure why, it might be a combination of the reputation, the culture and just so many nice looking buildings, and you can get great views of Manhattan. Maybe I'll move there someday, when I'm done with school. Now if only NYC wasn't so expensive...

What a wonderful set of pictures! I MUST get to New York sometime very soon! Maybe I should buy a tent, scrap my trip to Vermont and just get on my bike and go right now!

CartLegger: 27th Jul 2007 - 22:56 GMT

nice shots indeed! There are so many places to explore in that chunk of brooklyn.

how many wheels were you on that day? two or four or none?

colavitos ghost: 28th Jul 2007 - 13:47 GMT

awesome set, man. and it makes me realize something kinda funny; i've been to/through sunset park (the neighborhood) a bunch of times but have never even seen the park. didn't even realize it existed!

Glen: 2nd Nov 2007 - 09:21 GMT

Great pictures ! I lived on 77th street, 5th ave, but we visited friends that lived right next to the park, lot of great memories coming back....

Use to live a block away 45st and 6th ave, rode my bike thru the park day and night, couldn't wait for the pool to open in May, I
miss that. One day I'd like to return to visit and to see what it looks like today.

I remember Sunset Park from the 50's and 60's I lived right down from the park. That's when It was a nice neighborhood you could walk the streets anytime and not worry about getting mugged. Everybody knew everyone even from another block. But there are nomore real neighborhoods anymore , now it's a zoo! want to make me cry, show me a picture of this once beautiful park and It's once beautiful neighborhood thats why all the real Brooklynites moved away familes that lived there for many years. "KEEP LETTING THEM IN" and they will ruin it all.
