About Prospect Park: Prospect Park is a 526-acre urban oasis
located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York City's most populous
borough. The masterpiece of famed landscape architects Frederick
Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who also designed Central Park,
Prospect Park features the 90-acre Long Meadow , the 60-acre Lake
and Brooklyn's only forest.
The nation's first urban Audubon Center, the Prospect Park Zoo,
and the Celebrate Brooklyn! Performing Arts Festival are just a few
of the cultural attractions that make their home here at the Park.
With over 6 million visitors a year, the Park borders diverse
neighborhoods and attracts both locals and tourists. Popular
activities range from skating to birding to pedal boating to just
picnicking on the Long Meadow on a beautiful day. The Park also
boasts a stunning variety of natural and geological features.
Brooklyn's only forest is here, along with a complex water
system, rolling meadows and shaded hillsides.
