Reviews
"Saw Cafe Tacuba. It was just a great experience. Words fall short."
"Every summer they organize these concerts which are amazing, I love this place I love this park. Just so Brooklyn"
"Summer Stage is nyc in the summer. Check the schedule and make your plans! Bring your blankets to sit on and pack your picnics. Great to take in all kinds of music here. Most shows are free, some have long lines, some require advance purchase. They do sell food and alcohol."
"Super fun venue. Easy to get in. Plenty of very clean porta potties and plenty of beer/ wine spots which goes with the porta potties. Mostly GA but all good because it is pretty small and the stage is easy to see from anywhere."
"Great venue for free concerts/events. I visited Rumsey Playfield for Youth Pride, Good Morning America, and also Summer Stage. Each time was great and I had no complaints. The venue is spacious but can get crowded easily."
