McNair Park Puts an Astronaut on Your Brooklyn Walk
Pause between showers for a monument, rows of benches and a quieter stretch of Eastern Parkway.
🌦️ A pause between showers
Rain on the forecast calls for a flexible Brooklyn plan. Dr. Ronald McNair Park is an outdoor pause for a break between showers, with a paved central walk, rows of benches and trees framing the space.
The park honors an astronaut with a bust set into a pointed stone monument. Its built in checkerboard tables give you another reason to linger when conditions suit. Leave the long outdoor hang for drier weather and keep this stop brief when rain returns.
Find the park along Eastern Parkway, Washington Avenue and Classon Avenue. Brooklyn Botanic Garden sits nearby, and the related picks below offer more places to consider around Brooklyn. Check individual venues before heading over.
