Andrea H. • September 27, 2015Beautiful ~600 acres that seems endless, designed by the same architects of Central Park (but known as their fave!). Full of gems like the boathouse, skating rink, lakes, & great bike/running routes.
zoe g. • May 28, 2017Great place for firefly watching. Easy access to the lake, and a barbecue area near the entrance.
Fodor's Travel • September 9, 2015Every corner of Prospect Park is worth exploring, but the part closest to Windsor Terrace includes the peaceful man-made lake. Benches and small wooden gazebos dot the waterfront.
Nate F. • September 14, 2020largest of the ponds of green-wood. was a natural pond predating the cemetery, but is maintained by well to manage the water level.
Andrew C. • July 23, 2018Its beautiful here, definitely can get crowded and overwhelming with so many people on the fields or picnic area... the trails are mostly clear and easy to navigate (big circle around the lake)!!
