Brooklyn: A Half-Day Park Wander

Make a half-day of Brooklyn's everyday neighborhood landmarks with friends: start at 50 Kent's waterfront green, then visit Edmonds, Fermi and Garden playgrounds. These are local parks, not a checklist of major monuments. The stops span several neighborhoods; check the route and leave time between them.
