Dyker Beach Park

Park · Brooklyn

Dyker Beach Park is a city park at the southern end of Dyker Heights, across 14th Avenue from Bath Beach, on land that once included swamp.

  • 0.36 square miles
  • 2 street corners
  • 6 bus routes

The City of Brooklyn bought its first parcel in 1895, and a 50-acre saltwater lagoon was planned for the site, a design revised in 1911; filling of the swampy section began in 1918, and more parcels were added between 1924 and 1934. Today NYC Parks runs it as a public park with an 18-hole municipal golf course, playgrounds and ballfields.
