Bayswater Park is a spacious area that has a variety of recreational activities to be involved in.

I enjoyed my short visit, I sipped on a cup of coffee and read a few articles In the early hours when it was quiet and not much going on. I actually like this park, it's great for exercise and many other recreational activities.

Brant Wildife Sanctuary is a natural and preserved area of land that is predominantly a Marsh. There are no bathrooms or recreational activities.

This place is great for bird watching, a movie set location, or for simply for sitting on top of Jamaica Bay. There are no seats available and this area sits between two or more homes.

Ideal Food Basket is wonderfully located in Crown Heights/East Flatbush Brooklyn. They have a wide selection of everything that you need for cooking.

I purchased peanuts, sugar, and butter from this supermarket and made this peanut fudge candy. I enjoyed shopping here just as much as I enjoyed making this candy.

Saw Mill Creek Marsh is a natural preservation area that is the perfect place for nature photography and bird watching.

It doesn't have any recreational activities, so don't expect much besides experiencing the view. You might want to take a camera or binoculars with you for this one.
