Day 7 - Great Run - Last Day

On my final day in NYC I decided to go for a run up the west side of Brooklyn and photograph the new, amazing, park they are installing. Then I ran over the Brooklyn Bridge and ventured down to Pier 17 a touristy spot with some old ships docked there.

The playground equipment in this new park is spectacular. I wish Beanie could play on it. She would love it.

This would be so much fun to climb on.
There is a whole section dedicated to slides.

Note the view in the background!

This is part of the swing area. The blue flooring is rubbery soft stuff.

Water Lab!

This is the view of Manhattan from the park that is a mile from the apartment in Brooklyn.

As I jogged over the bridge, I watched the people in their automobiles stuck in the congestion on the bridge and moving VERY slowly. Running is certainly a faster option.
The Pier from the bridge.

Ships at the pier.


Old tug boat with HUGE mop on the front!?!


I think you can charter a ride on this sail boat.

Brooklyn Bridge, Neon plastic palm tree and No Parking sign.


After my 7+ mile run, I freshened up and packed my things and headed to the airport a few hours early. I was that anxious to get home and see my family. I missed them like crazy!!
