# What is Canarsie known for?

Canarsie is known as a suburban dream within Brooklyn - large parks, breezes from Jamaica Bay, residential houses lined with driveways and yards rather than concrete sidewalks. Families flock to Canarsie to let their children grow up in Americana-style suburbia while staying in the city. The Canarsie Pier is a popular fishing destination. Many sports fields support youth and adult athletics. The neighborhood is one of the few places in NYC where having a car is common and useful.
