Pre-covid was very safe even at night but I havent been there this season so dont know whats going on now. Perhaps imamothers from Williamsburg can tell us if its safe now.

No. There are too many places for toddlers to disappear or escape from. I also would not bring a kid over the age of 5 there in July and august.

Prospect Park has a nice sprinkler thing near the ice skating rink during the summer.

Also-- look on the Brooklyn public library website for different programs at different branches..when my kids were younger and I had off work, sometimes I brought them to a toddler program. We once went to a Lego robot building activity when they were a little older.
