Description

Prospect Park (500+ acres, 150+ years old, designed by Olmstead and Vaux) is often overshadowed by its sister in Manhattan, Central Park. However, it is no less important and iconic to the Brooklyn residents and visitors it serves. The 3.3 mile paved loop of East and West Drive is the place to be for local runners (and cyclists).
