Brooklyn's largest park! Central Park was actually the prototype for Prospect Part, and the architect for both parks considers Prospect Park to be far superior! On Sundays in summertime, Smorgasburg (an awesome local food festival) offers street food and interesting culinary treats in Breeze Hill near the Prospect Park B/Q/S subway station.
