Sightseeing
A "must see" in the neighborhood. Designed by Frederick Olmstead, it's got fields and meadows, woods and waterfalls, birdwatching (in the daytime) and bat watching (at night). The Prospect Park Zoo is here, the Prospect Park Carousel, and the LeFrak Ice Rink (in winter) and roller rink (when it's too warm for ice skating) and splash pad (in summer).
