Prospect Park is a 585-acre urban oasis located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York’s most populous borough. The masterpiece of famed landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, Prospect Park features the 90-acre Long Meadow, the 60-acre Lake and Brooklyn’s only forest. The nation’s first urban Audubon Center, the Prospect Park Zoo, and the Celebrate Brooklyn! Performing Arts Festival are just a few of the cultural attractions that make their home in Prospect Park.
