This neighborhood park is bursting with activities. Groups of friends come out to play handball, basketball, or soccer, and plenty of kids cavort in its popular playground. Whenever it's hot out, people cool down in the Olympic-size pool. Those looking for a workout go for a jog around the running track or take advantage of the onsite recreation center, which offers cardio equipment, weight lifting, and exercise classes.

Know Before You Go
The City has temporarily closed four natural grass ballfields (Fields 5,6,7,8) at Red Hook Park after detecting elevated lead levels in the soil. The risk of exposure is small and we have taken immediate cautionary action by covering bare soil and reseeding parts of the outfield and adding clay to the infield, as well as adding clay to a nearby bleacher area. The area will be closed for 6-8 weeks to allow for sufficient grass growth. The City will conduct regular assessments of the impacted areas to ensure that treatments remain intact while developing a longer-term solution.
As a reminder, parents should have children wash their hands whenever they come in from playing outdoors. The Health and Parks Departments will continue to work together to make sure New Yorkers have safe, accessible places to exercise.
