Welcome to the Naval Cemetery Landscape, a serene oasis nestled in the bustling heart of Brooklyn at 63 Williamsburg Street West. This unique park and tourist attraction, established by the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, stands on the historic grounds of the former Naval Hospital Cemetery at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It invites visitors to retreat and reflect while exploring its rich tapestry of natural and cultural history. Designed as a native plant meadow and pollinator habitat, the Naval Cemetery Landscape offers a peaceful escape from urban life. Here, you can witness the beauty of rare birds and insects thriving amidst the native flora. Magnifying glasses are available on site, and we encourage visitors to bring binoculars for a closer look at the bird species from our boardwalk.
