Sort of a mini Central Park, this is the best green space option for running in Brooklyn. Many lovely paths and runner-friendly roads. Nice detour options into the brownstone-lined streets of Park Slope.
In the Bay Ridge part of Brooklyn, there's a terrific multi-use path that goes along the water for 4.5 miles from Owl's Head Park to Bensonhurst Park. There are great views of the Upper Bay, city skyline, and the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge.
Coney Island is the quintessential New York attraction, from the beach to the boardwalk to the rides at Luna Park. The boardwalk is approximately 2.5 miles from end to end. For a longer run, extend east along the water to Sheepshead Bay.
