Brookfield Park

Enjoyable time , I love the outdoors . A great time with the family .

I entered across from the Atrium and only walked for a bi; but it was lovely with so many butterflies around. It was quiet since not right against Arthur Kill Road. I hesitated all year to visit it because it used to be a landfill but it was charming and natural.

Great local park that is perfect for running, biking, and nature watching. It is a great park for bird watching. If you generally like parks, you should like this one. It is part urban park, with paved walkways around the perimeter of the park, and part wilderness, with trails winding through disturbed grasslands and wetlands in the process of ecological restoration amid densely populated suburbs.

Nice park, lots of wildlife. Aside from the birds and deer Ive seen beaver, turtles and I think a fox. They eventually have to take down some fences to give access to Richmond creek and eventually go through the park to get to Costco.

Staten Island's Brookfield Park has gone from a toxic wasteland to a beautiful natural area with plenty of walking trails and paths for intrepid city travelers. It's a beautiful natural environment with thousands of native plantings. More than 17,000 trees and 76,000 plants were planted before the park opened in 2017, attracting migratory birds and butterflies to the area. Four marked trails provide excellent hiking opportunities, and a mile of unmarked trails can bring you all the way to Richmond Creek. Experience ponds, rivers, wetlands, marshes, and meadows at this restored, safe, and serene Mid-Island gem.
