Perhaps it’s time to play hooky from work and head for the hiking trail in Marine Park’s nature preserve. This is where a glorious grassland grows green, and shore birds swoop in and out of the waters alongside a salt marsh.

The preserve is one of the treasures of the southeast Brooklyn neighborhood that’s also named Marine Park. Read our related story to find out more about it and other fine sights to see in the area.

This is the largest park in Brooklyn. It is bigger than Prospect Park. This is the kind of fact that helps you win Brooklyn-centric trivia contests.
