I didn't even know that this area existed. It's a great shortcut through the waste treatment plant. The creek walk is tranquil, but narrow with plenty of areas to sit.
Nice peaceful park, not busy at all. Very modern design. The entrance according to Google maps is not accurate and will lead you to a restricted gated road. The real entrance is not obviously marked too, but there is a entry at the deadend of Paidge Ave next to the Spectrum parking lot. It's basically like a concrete, steel walkway. Can have a nice view of the scrapyards and Newtown Creek, the DEP boats, and the Wastewater treatment plant. But like others said, it's a concrete jungle, not much nature to be found. There does appear to be signage of some things, but I would not call this a "nature walk"
Also one of the water fountains doesn't work, and the other one was leaking nonstop, but works. So please fix that.
It’s a different part of Greenpoint. It’s not at all crowded, it definitely gets a little smelly. Its nice to visit and appreciate the fact that even in a spot like that there could be a nice area for people who work or live close by. The nature walk definitely made that part of Greenpoint much nicer. It’s a bit of a track to get to, no train is close, so city bike or revel are the best options. I’d recommend visiting. It’s hard to believe that it took 25 years for this park to get from being an idea to reality.
