McCarren Park, Public park in Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn, US
McCarren Park spans 35 acres across four city blocks, featuring sports fields, a recreation center, and a large swimming pool complex.
Established in 1906 as Greenpoint Park, it received its current name in 1909 to honor State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, a Democratic leader.
The park fields host multiple organized sports activities, from kickball tournaments to baseball games for local youth groups and soccer matches.
The park facilities include volleyball courts, handball areas, playgrounds, and walking paths accessible through entrances on Nassau Avenue and Lorimer Street.
The McCarren Pool, constructed in 1936 through the Works Progress Administration, remained closed from 1984 to 2012 before undergoing complete restoration.
