# What is Marine Park known for?

Marine Park is known as one of Brooklyn's most attractive family neighborhoods - a rare combination of safety, good schools, and affordable housing while most affordable Brooklyn neighborhoods have higher crime. The old-fashioned neighborhood is lined with small locally-owned businesses and open green space. Schools test above city averages: P.S. 207, P.S. 222, MS 278, and James Madison High School. The neighborhood is anchored by Marine Park itself - at 700+ acres, Brooklyn's largest park - with recreational facilities including baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, playgrounds, paddle boating, nature centers, hiking trails, kayaking, canoeing, golf course, and more.
