Great atmosphere & mix of different crowd to use this public domain! A well maintained park by the Dept of Park Services!

A good recreation option if you’re in the area and like running around a character-​less circle — apparently Fitbits and similar devices didn’t encourage people to run elsewhere and track distance that way.

Great park, great BBQ, great friends. The whole area is on the up swing. Clean, well lite and busy. Allot of bikes using the track.

This park is alright. It’s not a park I’d exactly travel to or plan an outing at, but if I was in the neighborhood I’d take a walk over. I mean that is how I ended up here in the first place. A friend of mine was in town and it was a gorgeous day, we decided to walk around Williamsburg since she has never been. After exploring all the shops and a few bars we ended up here. We walked around and there wasn’t a ton to see, but it was cute, it had a track and it has a dog park. I must say though the bathrooms, these were to date the most disgusting bathrooms I have ever been in, in my entire life. They really need to get that together. Honestly if a homeless person was sleeping in the bathroom it wouldn’t make it any more smelly. Besides that the park was alright.

Great, under-​utilized park. Well maintained, lots of green space, nice dog park. As a real estate broker I feel the property values around the park are going to skyrocket in the coming years. FYI.

Nice track with open space and Workout Bars.
Sayin” If you can get a run-​in in the midst of Piñata Birthday parties, cookouts, urban trash all over the place then go there on weekend afternoons, you’ll luv it.
Otherwise, go there early mornings when they are asleep and have a nice run.

Great atmosphere on a Saturday morning. Easy to get parking as well! There are no bathrooms or water fountains though which is unfortunate. There is also some basic equipment that people use to work out.

McCarren Track, I hate you but it’s not your fault.
I push myself on your even surface, rain or shine.
I observe the people, young and old, enjoying every part of you. All the while I’m huffing and puffing like a loser.
When it snows you’re a winter wonderland. I greet you when my boyfriend shoves my face to the ground to be pummeled with ice.
I don’t deserve you, but I appreciate you.

Pretty nice park but it can turn real ghetto real fast. There’s a whole lot of people jogging here in the morning and nights but during the day, there’s some trouble makers from junior high and high schools that come here and loiter. During the summertime, now that the McCarren park pool is opened, this area is just a jungle. All of the hood rats come out to swim and then get into plenty of confrontations and fights with locals. They also litter all over the park and graffito tag on people’s private property in the area surrounding the park. It’s still a great park for those who love to jog and get their daily exercises in. There’s a large track, pull up bars, and plenty of green to play soccer or football on. Just be alert of stupid hood kids.

Discovered this green pasture after completing my morning jog on Williamsburg bridge. It is a great asset for Greenpoint and Williamsburg hoods in Brooklyn. It is a place where one can engage in kickball, soccer, baseball, handball, basketball, football, and tennis. It is quite big and is spread across couple of acres and is always bustling with people.

A free, lit-​up spongy donut on which to run without much interference? What’s there to really complain about? Oh. Soccer balls, sure. Just kick them back to the field. Old guys on bicycles, yeah. Just tell them to move over. Winded hipsters puking on the sidelines, well, of course. Just tell them there’s free blow at the end of the marathon.
Your butt looks great. Have you lost weight?

This park is a beat up sh*thole, but I like it like that! The grass is overgrown, the cement has potholes everywhere. Many old Polish drunk men sitting around without their shirts on. Lots of benches to chill on. People playing frisbee, hula hooping, sitting in the grass reading. As one of my friends said, it looks like a place where all the workers at Urban Outfitters come to hang out. The best part is there are TONS of dogs. probably bc of the dogpark close by.

I have to say if it weren’t for the outdoor gym, I wouldn’t come here too too often. The track is in excellent condition, but there are constantly kids riding their bikes on it. Sure they’ll get tickets sometimes, but not often enough to discourage them apparently.
Occasionally I’ll do laps, but not if kids are backing up into your lane. Not fun. It’s too bad too, because it’s a very nice track.

while getting ready to hit the McCarren Park Track, I was telling my friend about one of my favorite running tracks back at home — the Campbell Community Center in California. I was telling her how I love that track because it’s open to the public, and it’s a rubber track. Haven’t had much luck finding rubber tracks specifically open to the public.
Lo and behold, we get to McCarren Park Track and I’m secretly ecstatic inside that the track is a rubber one. (running on rubber is one of the few sure proof ways that my joints don’t all start hurting)
anyhow, nice track with nice views of apartments/​buildings that I wish I lived in. we were here on a Sunday around 4pm-​ish and it wasn’t too packed at all. there’s people in the middle playing soccer, runners of all abilities around the track, and even entertaining people doing some hardcore dancing for the public to see.

Good track and turf fields at McCarren Park. There’s also a gym where one can do sit ups, pull ups, push ups and stretch. Lighted fields ought to be the norm in NYC. Very safe area and usually crowded with soccer, ultimate frisbee and runners. There’s handball courts too and a grass fields across the street.
I find it odd that some people bike laps around the track. The track is for running! Please.
Warning: it is crowded, so run at off-​peak hours, usually after 9PM.
Expect to find a million rubber pellets in your shoes if you use the turf fields.

There is a vibrant and dynamic community on the track every morning noon and night. I try to jog a couple laps myself three times a week. On weekday morning personal fitness trainers work with individuals or groups taking full advantage of the space and equipment in the park. People walk dogs, bicycle, and run sprints all in a glorious dance of anonymity and community.
I am not a huge fan of the Astroturf but it supports the chronic soccer games that would otherwise create a dust bowl on the grounds. Most of my time is spent running on the track or using the bars and platforms for sit ups and pull ups.
My favorite sight there was a pair of Hasidc Jews running in full uniform of black slacks, dress shoes, and white oxfords. They went for a couple of miles and were sweating terribly after but hey, even they have to exercise.

This is one of the best outdoor tracks in the city. The track is in excellent shape, like the soccer field at the center of it. I like to come here to run ocasionally, and it gets crowded on weekends but it is always manageable. There are two underused bocce fields on one side of the track, and plenty of space to just relax while watching other people sweating it out.
The neighborhood (Greenpoint) offers some interesting post-​run distractions, which is always a plus.

I love this outdoor track. Came here for a run on Saturday, and it really was very invigorating and motivating. Its been a while since I have been a running regularly, but this track made me see what I have been missing! So many people here, and all enjoying the great outdoors! I love that there were children on tricycles, and adult men playing soccer, and lovers lounging and even people playing bocce! It was very kewl! Will definitely come back for another run!

Oh, how I miss you so!
Only now, when I run around the barren wasteland that is Bushwick, do I realize how amazing you are. I miss not having to stare at my feet to avoid twisting an ankle or stepping in dog crap. I miss not having to break my stride and strain my neck to avoid getting hit by cars. I miss your springy surface that is ever so soft on my knees. I miss you being a block from my apartment.
I would gladly get blindsided in the face with a soccer ball every once and a while if it meant having you in my life again.
I am so sorry I under appreciated you. Move to Bushwick with me? Please?
