Designed by legendary landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, nearby Prospect Park offers over 500 acres of programmed green space. Visitors enjoy walking trails, playgrounds, and sporting fields, as well as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the extraordinary LeFrak Center at Lakeside. This is the hub of the neighborhood, and the heart of the community. Bring family, meet friends, take the dog for a jaunt at the dog beach, or amble solo; it’s the heart that beats throughout Park Slope.
