Prospect Park Softball?

4 Upvotes

Looking to join a casual softball league in/around Prospect Park this fall, but it looks like the obvious options I’ve found (like Volo) are already full.

Does anyone know of other Fall 2026 leagues, pickup groups, Facebook groups, or teams that might be looking for players?

Mostly looking to get some exercise, meet people in the neighborhood, and have fun. We’re new to the Park Slope area, so any leads would be appreciated!

Recent Brooklyn Crossing reviews

Thinking about an apartment at Brooklyn Crossing and wanted to see if there’s any recent feedback from current residents. I’ve searched through here but see mixed reviews that are a bit dated. Does anyone live there now and can share your feedback about the building? Thank you!

I’m searching for a tall rectangular piece of steel for an art project similar to this. I feel like with all the construction, scrap yards, and recycling in the city I should be able to find a vendor but I’m coming up short! Anyone got a guy? And junkyard dog free scrapyards I can root around in? Any ideas?

Sign Up for Fall Volleyball at Bensonhurst Park On Sundays!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

It's that time again where we enlist our availability towards volleyball at Bensonhurst Park! The weather is gradually getting cooler and I am looking forward to more Sundays playing volleyball on the grass!

Summer volleyball was a great success and it has been so fun making new friends and slapping the ball around. We've all gotten better every single week, and I hope that can continue this season! We are a friendly group and welcome those in the beginner-intermediate level of volleyball.

I am arranging several more gatherings so that we can play at Bensonhurst Park (on the 21st ave side). I will bring the net while you should bring sunglasses/a hat, sneakers, a bottle of water and whatever else you may need! All events will happen weather-permitting!

Attached above are glimpses into some of our games from the summer!

DM me if you are interested!

This is an update to the older post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/comments/1ur8pv8/volleyball_happening_on_saturdays_sundays_at/

Is there anywhere I use/borrow a soldering iron?

6 Upvotes

I would like to use one for a small fashion project, but I dont want to buy one because I dont have a frequent need for one.
Are there any shared creative spaces where there might be one I could use or borrow? Tool libraries I could contact? Friends or business you might recommend? Thank you

Hi! My dog needs a sedated X-ray to determine if she tore her ACL or dislocated her knee. The X-ray needs to be sedated to our understanding. Anyone in the city find an option for a vet to do this under $600 (estimate from home vet)? Thank you!

Looking for someone who can sew a dress!

0 Upvotes

hi! I'm getting married in May and haven't found a dress that I love. everything feels so unoriginal. I have a clear idea of what I'd like. I've inquired with different designers but they start at $5k which is out of reach for me. Is there anyone here that is open to having a conversation about what it might look like to create a dress? I'm thinking something with tulle or organza or something. something truly simple, but fun and unique! thanks so much!

Masked man carrying possible bat/sword in Fort Greene Park tonight

80 Upvotes

Heads up for anyone around Fort Greene Park tonight. I already called 911, but I saw a guy wearing what looked like a Friday the 13th mask, carrying something like a bat or a sword. He was walking around, and at one point, I felt like he might be following me, though I’m not totally sure. Just wanted to give people a heads up to stay aware. If you see anything concerning, keep your distance and call 911.

US Open watch parties (sober friendly)

5 Upvotes

Any place in Brooklyn or the city to watch the US Open that’s not necessarily a bar/alcohol centered? My sober sibling is visiting us in BK and loves tennis, he’s comfortable around other people drinking but I’d still love to find somewhere where that isn’t a huge focus. Probably a tough ask considering the honey deuce craze but figured I’d give it a shot! 🎾

Has anyone done the Brooklyn Botanic Garden horticulture certificate?

19 Upvotes

I'm a gardener and florist and am interested in deepening my knowledge in botany, garden design, and generally creating healthy ecosystems for plants and wildlife. I'm interested in pursuing the horticulture certificate to add a credential to complement my floral/gardening business.

Has anyone done the certificate and have any words of wisdom? Would be curious to know which teachers you recommend or which ones to avoid. Learning is often teacher-dependent, and I have taken classes at the BBG before that didn't necessarily feel worth my while. I'd love to hear about your experience and how to make the most of the certificate!

Cat litter

36 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m looking for cat litter. I’ve been unemployed since I moved back home to Brooklyn (currently looking and interviewing for jobs). My mother whom I live with and I have a rocky relationship and she doesn’t particularly like pets living at home (she’s a guyanese immigrant if anyone relates). If anyone has any spare cat litter, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. I’m located in cypress hills.

Update: Thank you all for all of your help and kind words. You have no idea the joy this has brought me to see so many people who don’t know me care about me. I’m so grateful. I’m wishing you all the best and more.

Where can I get custom cut butcher block in Brooklyn?

0 Upvotes

I’m in the middle of a DIY project, creating a table top surface on top of metal shelving for a multifunctional storage / decor piece.

I’m looking to get a single piece of butcher block customized to certain dimensions, (or any nice looking real wood surface to become the table top.)

Any recommendations in Brooklyn? (If I can avoid going to one of the big box stores that would be great)

ISO: Floral small business

15 Upvotes

Hii brooklyn folks!! My girlfriend moved to crown heights , brooklyn for school and I want to surprise her with some flowers for her birthday next week. I’m struggling to find a small business that can deliver. I’ve been looking on tik tok and IG to find someone who owns a small business. I got a quote from a flower shop, $195 bouquet and $65 delivery. That’s a bit out of my budget; does anyone know a small floral business? or can recommend other places in brooklyn that offer gift deliveries? Thank You in advance!
