Prospect Park

Among all parks in NYC, it has each and every element of a great park. It’s missing nothing. Very organized, clean, and safe. Visually incredible, especially in summer and spring. The middle lake makes it a very welcoming place for many kinds of ducks and other birds. Also, the vibe is real; you’re going to find many running and cycling groups here. Additionally, the middle field is a great place to sit and hang out.

Absolutely breathtaking when it snows. Swans, ducks, geese and seagulls at the semi-frozen lake. Young kids sledding, snow sculptures, dogs running around. Scenic walk which is a nice break from the city.

I recently visited Prospect Park during the fall, and it was an amazing experience. The park offers a massive green space that feels like a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city. It’s ideal for couples, friends, and families to gather, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The fall foliage adds a stunning layer of color, making the park even more scenic and inviting. Whether you’re there for a casual walk, a picnic, or just to enjoy the fresh air, there’s something for everyone. The park’s open layout gives you plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature without feeling crowded. It’s the perfect place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of the season. I highly recommend visiting, especially during the fall when the leaves are changing!

By far the best oversized park in NYC, the true masterpiece of urban landscape architecture and making Central Park look so stale and flaccid by comparison. Highly recommend walking to the top of Lookout Hill for actual natural elevation in Brooklyn and The Vale to get full lost in the woods while being in the heart of Brooklyn!

Great route for exercise whether you like to run or bike since half the route is at an incline & the other half a decline. Go during the week for less of a crowd. Also, highly recommend bringing a hammock & good book or friends with hammocks to setup for a relaxing afternoon. The fall leaves 🍁are beautiful. Spring 🌱 is perfect for the Botanical Gardens at the north end. There's also a nice local market that gets setup (not sure what time of year) at the north end under the beautiful arch, by the library.
