New Water Bottle Filling Stations Coming To Prospect Park

Six Smart Tap water bottle filling stations are coming to Prospect Park this summer, thanks to a donation from the company, with the hope that park users will carry reusable bottles and reduce the consumption of plastic water bottles and trash in the park. These are bottle filling stations with drinking water fountains that will replace the current drinking fountains at those locations.

For those who carry your own water bottle, you may have already spotted one of these in the park. As Chicken Underwear and FiPS have already noticed, one was already installed in the Nethermead, just before Tropfest. Here’s where all the stations will be located:

• 6th Street and West Drive
• Near Field 1 in the Long Meadow Ballfields
• The Nethermead near Center Drive
• Along the East Drive, across from the Peristyle
• Near Field 6 at the Parade Ground
• At the Center Drive and East Drive intersection
