From classic parks to tucked-away trails, here are some of our favorite outdoor smoking spots in Brooklyn to pair with your next outing.
Scenic Outdoor Spots
While smoking is not permitted in NYC parks, many cannabis lovers still enjoy the city’s green spaces by indulging before they arrive or choosing discreet formats like edibles or beverages. Here are a few Brooklyn favorites to pair with your high—just enjoy responsibly and legally.
1. Prospect Park
Many cannabis enthusiasts head to Prospect Park on the weekends. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery and a good dose of sunshine, or whatever Mother Nature offers that day. The Long Meadow or Nethermead are ideal spots for a relaxing afternoon.
Indulging in an Indica pre-roll like Purple Puddin Pop is the perfect way to unwind before you head out to Prospect Park.
2. Brooklyn Heights Promenade
Especially along the boardwalk, plenty of like-minded souls will enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. As you casually stroll, briskly walk, or chill on a park bench, you can also gaze at Manhattan and experience water and natural views. It’s a beautiful and relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Why not make it even better with a Berry-Limeade Kief-Infused Pre-Roll before your visit?
3. Fort Greene Park
Fort Greene Park is a 30+ acre Brooklyn treasure providing shade with its hills and ample greenery. It’s also situated in a diverse neighborhood with some interesting and delicious ethnic restaurants, such as the Venezuelan eatery Guacuco. You might want to enjoy a sativa strain before soaking in the scene. Blue Dream Pre-Rolls will help you take it all in and then some.
Brooklyn Smoking Lounges
When you want to experience more of a social atmosphere, Brooklyn offers plenty of cannabis-friendly locations:
1. Smokus Pocus
Smokus Pocus is an entertaining venue that allows you to smoke a joint or treat yourself to edibles before the show. Once the entertainment begins, you’ll find it’s very 420-friendly with a magic show and humor cannabis enthusiasts will especially appreciate. You won’t miss any fun with a Pink Acai Pre Roll.
2. Passions Brooklyn
Whether hanging out with your bestie or planning a celebration with your closest friends, Passions Brooklyn is the place to be. In addition to a full kitchen specializing in Mediterranean food, they also offer a nightclub and hookah lounge. Management wants to make sure all their patrons enjoy a unique experience.

Bamboo Café opened in the popular Williamsburg neighborhood at the end of 2024. The owners intended to bring the cheer and hope of the holidays into the new year and beyond. The upbeat vibe includes a tiki bar, original art, reggae and rap music, and a loft-like lounge where visitors enjoy their favorite form of cannabis. It’s a chill-type atmosphere. To totally relax while still feeling that positive vibe, give Northern Lights #5 x Biscotti Pre-Roll a try.
Responsible Consumption Tips

- Adhere to NYC laws concerning smoking in parks and green spaces and age restrictions.
- Do not smoke or use any type of marijuana while driving.
- Check with the establishment for their guidelines on THC or cannabis consumption.
- When smoking is allowed in public spaces, consider those around you, especially those with children.
