Sunset Park
neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, New York, United States
Sunset Park is a neighborhood in the western part of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, bounded by Park Slope and Green-Wood Cemetery to the north, Borough Park to the east, Bay Ridge to the south, and New York Harbor to the west. The neighborhood is named for a public park of the same name that covers 24.5 acres (9.9 ha) between Fifth and Seventh Avenues from 41st to 44th Street.
The area north of 36th Street is alternatively known as Greenwood Heights, while the section north of 20th Street is also called South Slope. The area was initially occupied by the Canarsee band of Munsee-speaking Lenape until the first European settlement occurred in 1636.
