Parks & Nature
LOVE THIS PARK!!! great place to go for a small adventure, pack a picnic, go for a run, a bike ride, people watch, etc. Check out the boathouse for sure! There is ice skating by the lake in the winter and roller skating during the summer. Alcohol is technically not permitted but if you want to pack a picnic, bring plastic cups and just don't be rowdy about it and you should be fine, though I can't guarantee it, I do it with friends all the time. I would advise picnicing near one of the bathrooms which are open all day (The whole park is on google maps). During the summer months look up Smorgusburg (food) & Prospect Park Bandshell (music). www.prospectpark.org

Open 24 Hours!! Self service OR drop-off/pick-up but no pick-up/delivery service. I do all of my laundry here. CASH ONLY (ATM available). Purchase $2 laundry card, add money to it, use it for the machines. The card can be returned but you will only get the $2 back, not the balance left on it. Drop off service is finished within 24 hours, but if you go early in the day it might be finished by end of day. I usually ask the employee working when they should have it finished and sometimes they can get it done faster.
