Parks & Nature

An absolutely lovely neighborhood community garden. Anyone can enter if a member opens it. Thought there is no schedule, you can count on it being open on weekends with beautiful weather.

A smaller version, and by the same designer as Central Park, Prospect Park is a must-visit for Brooklyn visitors. Stroll through on a sunny day, and go sledding if there's snow. Gorgeous retreat.
