Marine Park
Description
Encompassing 798 acres, Brooklyn's largest park has something to offer for every outdoorsman (-woman and -child): bike paths, baseball fields, bocce ball, nature trails, playgrounds, a 210-acre golf course and even a place to launch boats and kayaks in Jamaica Bay. Formerly hunting and fishing grounds for natives living in the nearby village of Keshawchqueren, this area, with its myriad species of plants and trees (not to mention salt marshes), is registered as a Forever Wild Reserve. There's nothing quite like it in the five boroughs.
