Straddling the border between Williamsburg and Greenpoint, McCarren Park is a wonderful place for some reprieve. The park has plenty of fields and courts that enable you to partake in a variety of sports ( soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball). As expected, strolling through the park is also a great thing to do in Greenpoint with kids.
