'An urban oasis' first comes to mind when I think about our first visit to Prospect Park. The…read moreoverall experience was certainly positive, with some fine points. As a visitor to the city, finding parking on a weekday afternoon was near impossible, until it became possible after what felt like 25 minutes of searching for a spot. The park is truly sprawling and there are many places to explore, including pavilions, bridges, falls, a pond, a creek, and endless paved trails. We also couldn't help but notice that the park overall may not have been maintained consistently, based on the extensive weeds in fountains, for instance. We saw at least two cafes that had pastries, sandwiches, and beverages on their menu that looked good enough to make us think we'd definitely go there if we lived locally. All in all, I'm grateful for this space being available for locals and visitors to enjoy, and hope it is maintained and stays open for many more years.

Two notes about this event they do check bags. Bring a blanket and food is allowed. I'm highly recommending when you live in Brooklyn. For me it's a long day adventure and not one I would do except for this holiday long weekend.

This park features an elevated walkway with Manhattan skyline views, a sugar factory-themed playground, sand volleyball and bocce courts, water features, and a taco stand. Moreover, this park has a gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline and Wiliamsburg bridge. Parking is very challenging so it's best to take a public transit. As a first time visitor, I really like this park and its modern design. This park was not built when I was exiled to LA over a decade ago! Overall, I am glad I enjoyed this park and its stunning view. I highly recommend you visit.

The view is excellent and the park is pretty large while not being too expansive. It's a great place to bring your kiddo to play some soccer or hit the playground. It's an even better place to eat your locally purchased Bahn Mi sandwich. The park is clean, well populated and ready for your visit.

I was born and mostly raised living in Sunset Park, which I know is separate and apart from the…read morepark itself, but obviously, I look at the two as the same. There's been many changes to the park over the years from the pool, to the dungeon (the inside part of the pool, the basketball court and the play area. I would say most of the changes have been for the better, but I still do miss some of the old days. The park is huge and stretches over several blocks and has various entrances. I would say for the best views come in through the 5th Avenue entrance on either 43rd or 44th street. You can get a nice scenic view once you're in the middle of the park. I would say if you're in the neighborhood or visiting "Industry City" that you should pass through the park, if the water calls for it.
