Saturday 9/5/26: Weekend Sketchers in Sunset Park, Brooklyn

 

Sunset Park is one of New York’s hidden treasures. Tucked away in the Brooklyn neighborhood that bares its name, this park is famous for its breathtaking vista with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. From the park’s highest point you can see the Statue of Liberty, vibrant Brooklyn neighborhoods, and the green hills of Staten Island and New Jersey. The park itself has a swimming pool, green fields, pedestrian walkways, a sand volleyball court, a recreation center, and a living memorial commemorating September 11th.

The surrounding culturally diverse neighborhood of Sunset Park is known for both a booming Chinatown, with noodle shops and dim sum spots, and a diverse Latino community.
