Parks & Playgrounds

The most luxurious nature in Brooklyn. Play tennis, baseball, frisbe, jog, bicycle, meander through the woods. You can rent paddle boats in the lake and watch the variety of birds that call the park their home. There are multiple playgrounds, a zoo for kids and a carousel too. The famed Smorgasboard food truck gather on weekends. Watch free concerts in the summer at the Prospect Park Bandshell.

Neighborhoods

Another great waterfront neighborhood in Brooklyn. There's a beautiful park, gorgeous historic carousel, lots of restaurants and old factory buildings restored. It gets very crowded and dense during the weekends.
