Walk Leafy Paths to the Ridgewood Reservoir Loop
Walking the loop brings water and reeds into view before the park closes at 9 PM.
🍃 Evening Walks in Highland Park
Trade the street for stone steps and leafy paths at Highland Park, where Brooklyn meets Queens. Stairs descend into dense greenery, and walking trails connect directly to the historic Ridgewood Reservoir loop. Make that loop the focus of your evening wander, with water and reeds adding a change of scene.
The park is open from 6 AM to 9 PM daily, giving you a clear closing time to plan around. Tennis and basketball courts, grilling stations and a community garden give you reasons to linger. For a quieter route, steer away from the sections near Vermont Street, where street noise can carry.
