Location
Greenway Botanical Garden at the Naval Cemetery. Enter at 61 Williamsburg St West between Kent and Flushing Avenues.
Transit: We are located on the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway and offer bike parking on site!
There is no parking lot for cars on site but street parking is nearby on Kent Avenue or Williamsburg Street West near Steuben Park.
If putting in directions in a GPS app / taking Uber or Lyft - we recommend inputting the GPS Pin of Kent Ave + Hooper Street and being dropped off there. While on Kent, make a right on Williamsburg West Street via foot. Google Maps does not take you to the entrance to the Garden if you add the Garden's address as your location. We're working to address this issue and appreciate your patience.
