Nice park, saw my first chipmunk there, just couldn't get the camera out in time! Guidebook said there was a cafe at the boathouse, no longer there. They told us there was one at the picnic house, none their either. Limited toilet facilities....do not us the portable ones, absolutely disgusting.

very good circle for all bikers levels has a nice hill and a cruising slope. if you run its a bit of a challenge but roads are generally clear of cars

This park is great for a variety of activities. There seems to always be something going on. There's a martial arts class on Saturday mornings. There are a solid flow of children's sports, cheer leading and other extracurricular activities going all day on weekends. The park is dog friendly, but please be responsible and clean-up after your pet. The park... More

Also here is a lot of animals and birds. Here you can run, drive bicycle and have a lunch! Nice and beautful! One day... More

This park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who had recently finished Central Park, to provide pastoral vistas to the people of Brooklyn. As befits the borough's more laid-back attitude, Prospect Park is not nearly so fancy as its older sister, but the city has been improving it steadily.

I actually got off on the wrong subway stop, and thankfully ended up right next to prospect park. I'd say its a mini Central Park. It's gorgeous, peaceful, and perfect for a run or bike ride.

Lovely park to spend an afternoon in. Beautifully designed. Trees, lawns, children's play areas and a cycle and running track. At weekends people everywhere having picnics and barbeques. Great family environment. Love going there with my family.

Nothing so fancy about this park except that it is located near the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in a beautiful residential community. The place is great for joggers and people with pets who can walk their dogs around. I prefer the bigger Central Park.

If you want to avoid tourists but relax in a bit of NYC Open space - then take the trip down to Propect Park - it's a little more relaxed than Central Park but still with LOts of open spaces and places to enjoy a picnic or play ball games!
