Prospect Park
Designed and constructed over a thirty year period (1865 - 1895) by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, the masterminds behind Central Park, Prospect Park has blossomed into a premier destination for Brooklyn visitors and resident alike.
Widely known for its intricate manmade watercourse (wetlands) and its trees, the bulk of Brooklyn's remaining indigenous forest, the park is highly functional green space. Contained within its 526 acres are zoo, the first urban-area Audubon Center in the nation, an ice rink, a band shell, a carousel, and dozens of athletic and recreational facilities.
