Bay Ridge is home to Owl's Head Park, 27-acres housing Brooklyn's first concrete skate park, playgrounds, dog runs and basketball courts. 69th Street Pier, the community's seaside recreation spot, beckons fishermen and strollers to enjoy the seaside promenade, which runs south from the Pier to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. The area is served by the NYC Subway R train and several express buses to Manhattan. Bay Ridge is easily accessed by car via the Belt Parkway and Gowanus Expressway.
