Homecrest is a neighborhood on the south side of the borough of Brooklyn, New York. This area is often designated as part of the Sheepshead Bay Region and is highly residential with commercial thoroughfares along borders. Residents of Homecrest find the neighborhood very walkable with playgrounds, schools, and businesses easily accessible on foot and pedestrian travel is a popular way to traverse the neighborhood.
The weather in New York can impede daily walking with your dog, with inclement weather when storms and weather systems move in from the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean does, however, moderate winter temperatures which do not get as cold as locations further inland. Rain is a frequent occurrence, especially in the winter and spring. Summers in Homecrest are hot and humid and bringing water along for you and your pup to stay hydrated on long summer strolls is advised.
A train track providing public transportation bisects the neighborhood from north to south and should only be crossed at designated pedestrian crossings. The region is well landscaped with large trees along roads and on private properties that provide shade in summer, shelter from showers in spring, and beautiful fall colors. Most residences in the area are multi-family townhomes, condos, and apartments, mostly of brick construction and varying architecture.
Marine Park is the largest park in Brooklyn and provides 798 acres of recreational and natural areas. There is a .75-mile pedestrian path around the park and several other trails allowing access to natural areas. Marine Park is a dog-friendly, off-leash area with sports fields and natural areas. A saltwater marsh located in the park provides a habitat to local and native plants and animals and a boat launch is popular for local kayaks and canoes. Many dog owners teach their dog to ride in these watercrafts to enhance their greenway experiences.
Nearby, Manhattan Beach Park is situated on 43 acres and has an enclosed dog run where your dog can play off-leash and socialize.
