Let me just say that I have been to Hyde Park in London, Lincoln Park in Chicago and Chapultepec Park in Mexico DF and Central Park in Manhattan. For my money, however, there is no park as beautiful, easy to maneuver and well maintained as Prospect Park here in Brooklyn. Olmstead and Vaux were right to consider this their crowning achievement. Whether paddleboating on the lake, taking your dog for a run, climbing the hill or simply laying on the Long Meadow, you will enjoy yourself here.

Pros: Close f/ Brooklynites, Well Maintained, Easy to maneuver

Editor's Review

After designing Central Park, landscaper Frederick Law Olmsted perfected the urban oasis with this outer-borough gem.  See the full editorial review.
