Marsha P. Johnson State Park, State park along East River in Williamsburg, United States.

This 11-acre waterfront park features paved pathways and green spaces that extend along the East River, offering views of the Manhattan skyline and Williamsburg Bridge.

The park opened in 2007 on the former Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal site, which operated as Palmer's Dock beginning in 1870.

In 2020, the park was renamed to honor Marsha P. Johnson, becoming the first New York state park dedicated to an LGBTQ rights activist.

Visitors can access barbecue areas, restrooms, and benches throughout the park, with convenient subway and bus connections nearby.

A new gateway entrance incorporates floral designs inspired by Marsha P. Johnson's signature style and displays her motto 'Pay it no mind.'
