Around Marine Park
Half of the neighborhood of Marine Park borders the proper Marine Park. Many residents prefer living on its border over Kings Highway. Tidy blocks are home to homes built mostly in the 1920s and 30s. Most residences are single-family homes, but there is a notable six-story co-op on the edge of the park near Burnett Street. There are no miniature mansions or expansive yards in the neighborhood, and everything is quite tightly manicured and of manageable size.
Marine Park is a far cry from the epicenter of culture, food included. Traveling to Bay Ridge would be ideal for those in the market for fantastic options close by. Otherwise, Nick’s Lobster House takes advantage of the coastal vibes of the neighborhood. Fast food options abound, as well as pizza spots, including Pizza Emporium and Lenny & John’s Pizza.
Tree-lined streets of Tudor-style homes and brick row houses with garages of all kinds (attached, detached, or functioning as a temporary extension of the house) make up Marine Park. Built for a World Fair that never was, Marine Park is home to the neighborhood’s cultural center. Bocce ball courts and live music events make it a vibrant part of the community. In a more rustic sense, the Salt Marsh Nature Center on Avenue U offers kayak rentals and winding trails.
If you’re in Marine Park, there’s a high chance the weekend starts with a stop over at a neighbor’s yard for a drink. If you like plans a little more concrete, meet up at Third & Seven. Take a walk through Marine Park, checking out any live music event, or just taking in the views on your way to dinner at Liman Restaurant—a spot famous for its views on the water and incredible Mediterranian offerings.
Take a walk to nearby Flatbush to stop at Milk & Honey Cafe. With a coffee and pastry in hand, stroll through the striking standalone gems that line the streets of nearby Ditmas Park. Walking back to Marine Park, take a seat on the beach near Gerritsen Avenue (swimming prohibited.) Try your hand at golf at the 18-hole public Marine Park Golf Course, or run your last-minute errands at Kings Plaza Shopping Center.
There are no subways that service Marine Park. Having a car and a garage is important in this neighborhood. But commuters without cars can get creative by taking the B3 bus across Avenue U to East 16th Street for the Q train into Manhattan. The trip to Times Square is about an hour. Other options include the BM4 express bus. On the bright side, the neighborhood is only about a 20-minute drive from JFK International Airport.
