Carroll Park


Address

Court Street and Smith Street
Brooklyn, NY 11231


Public Transport

  • By Subway:
    The closest subway station is the F/G Carroll Stop. If you need an elevator, we advise that you use the one at Jay Street Metro-tech (A, C, F, R, elevator located on northeast corner of Jay and Willoughby Streets). The Borough Hall (2, 3, 4, 5) is also a close subway stop with an elevator.
  • By Bus:
    The B57 stops right next to the park, and also runs next to wheelchair accessible subway stops at Jay Street MetroTech (A, C, F, R) and Borough Hall (2, 3, 4, 5).

Accessibility

  • Parking

    We have always found that there is ample parking right next to the park on Carroll Street. It’s a school zone and during the school day the parking on that street is restricted, so normally by 5:30/6 o’clock it is fairly empty.
  • Restroom

    There are 2 bathrooms on either side of the Park House. They will both be available throughout the performance, and are wheelchair accessible.
  • Wheelchair Info

    The park itself is wheelchair accessible, but the neighboring subway (F/G Carroll) is not. If you need an elevator, we advise that you use the one at Jay Street MetroTech (elevator located on northeast corner of Jay and Willoughby Streets) or the Borough Hall (2, 3, 4, 5) stop. Also, as we set chairs out for each performance, please let us know if you’d like us to remove chairs so that you can get the best view of the performance. Please email us at info@smithstreetstage.org 24 hours in advance.

Theater Description

Whether you're buying fresh groceries, taking in a Shakespearean work, or giving the kids a place to run, historic Carroll Park is the perfect destination. Carroll Park is one of the oldest parks in Brooklyn, and is always filled with activity. Carroll Park has three major sections: an asphalt yard with basketball rims and a baseball/kickball diamond for older kids; a play area with equipment for older and younger kids and a compass-shaped spray shower; and a shady area with public bathrooms for seating and comfort.
