Why go

Laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the same team behind Central Park, Prospect Park opened in 1867 and covers 526 acres in Brooklyn.

Good to know

Prospect Park draws a mostly local, borough crowd rather than tourists, and its Long Meadow and Ravine woodland stay far less trafficked than the park's edges.
