There’s ferry service from Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 (foot of Atlantic Avenue) to Governors Island on Saturdays and Sundays after the Island re-opens to the public on Saturday, May 23, but there will be no way for Brooklynites to get there on weekdays, other than to take a train to lower Manhattan, walk to the Battery Maritime Building (just east of the Staten Island Ferry Terminal) and take a ferry from there. mai Armstrong of Working Harbor Committee has protested this, as have several local elected officials, who have written to Mayor de Blasio suggesting an extension of the weekday East River Ferry service to Governors Island.
