Water sprinklers in our neighborhoods in Brooklyn

As summer temperatures reach 80°F, water sprinklers are now active at parks across Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, and beyond. Notable locations include the Pier 2 and Pier 6 Water Labs in Brooklyn Bridge Park, both open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. In Brooklyn Heights, the Walt Whitman Park sprinklers have been repaired and are operational for the 2025 season.

In Downtown Brooklyn, children visiting the Abolitionist Place splash pad at 225 Duffield Street must wear waterproof sandals, as bare feet are prohibited. Other major neighborhood cooling spots include the Pirate Ship Playground in DUMBO and the J.J. Byrne Playground in Park Slope.

Prospect Park offers several options, including the award-winning Splash Pad at Lakeside, which is free for children 12 and under. Most city-operated sprinklers remain available throughout the summer months to provide relief during heat waves.
