Amazing flower garden in Brooklyn!
I love walking my dog in Marsha P. Johnson State Park because of the amazing flower garden. It’s such a well kept park. The city does a great job at planting various flowers and maintaining the cleanliness. There are also a ton of benches and chairs if you want to just sit and read.
