About Main Street
In addition to our popular Pebble Beach and nautical-themed playground, Main Street features an expanded and elevated lawn, an upgraded dog run, Main Street Terrace, and an entry plaza at Washington Street.
Main Street is also the site of the adaptively reused 99 Plymouth building – a former DEP facility now home to the BBP Conservancy’s Environmental Education Center. A learning hub for both school groups and the general public, the Ed Center features interactive exhibits showcasing the plants, animals, and ecology of the Park and the Brooklyn waterfront.
Main Street is also the home of The Cliffs, an expansive attraction comprising one of the largest outdoor bouldering facilities in North America. Its many challenges, which cater to newcomers and experienced climbers alike, will make it a favorite place to climb!
