Prospect Park Reopens Tomorrow at 8am
Prospect Park will reopen to the public on Saturday, November 3, at 8am! However, some areas will remain off limits to the public while cleanup and restoration work continues:
Areas of Prospect Park That Remain Closed Until Further Notice• The Lincoln Road Playground
• Stewart Playground (at the Parade Ground)
• The area around Nellie’s Lawn
• Most of the Woodlands
Many other areas will be marked by caution-tape, and the public must use care and avoid these areas.
The Prospect Park Alliance says that over 300 hundred trees are down or so badly damaged that they will be taken down for safety. There were over 100 hanging limbs, and almost 1,000 large branches and limbs are down or damaged.
Want to help the park? The Walk-a-thon and Run is still on for tomorrow, and all proceeds will be directed to help with the cleanup and restoration of the Park. You can also make a donation to support the park online.
