Empire Fulton Ferry

Whether you’re coming or going, laying out on the lush lawns, visiting Jane’s Carousel, or being a shutterbug, this go-to location, nestled between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, is not to be missed.

LAWN CLOSURES

The grass at the Empire Fulton Ferry Lawn was recently replaced following the redesign and construction of the area, part of the larger Emily Warren Roebling Plaza project.

The lawn will be closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays to allow the young grass to properly root and grow.
