“Walking the loop around Prospect Park is like walking around the world. On the weekends the park is teaming with music and festivities from so many different cultures. It has been referred to as "Brooklyn's Backyard" If you start at Grand Army Plaza and are here on a Saturday there is a great farmers market. The entire loop is just under 3.5 miles with a hill at the end. But you can easily cut through the park at different points and there is an inner loop around the long meadow that is a lovely walk. There are restrooms at the bandshell, picnic house and Lefrak Center. During the summer Lefrak is an outdoor roller rink and in winter, an ice skating rink. If you want to get a feel for how Brooklynites spend their free time, visiting Prospect Park is a must!”
