Take the Downtown Q express train (of the N-R-Q, the yellow line), 2 stops, from 42nd Street-Times Square to 14th Street-Union Square. You can also take the N or R but they are local trains so it will take a lot longer.
Transfer at 14th Street-Union Square to the Downtown 4 or 5 express trains (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line), 1 stop, to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. Again, you can also take the 6 but it is a local train and will take much longer.
You'll exit the subway at the intersection of Chambers and Centre Streets (at the northeast corner of City Hall Park). Walk south on Centre Street (along the east side of City Hall Park) until you reach the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade (about 1/3 of the way down the length of the park).
