Highlights
Explore Brooklyn's scenic treasure, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after their completion of Central Park. Learn why they came to prefer this park to their original Manhattan masterpiece.
This walking tour begins at historic Grand Army Plaza, where you'll see the famous Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch. From there, we'll begin our journey of the highlights of Prospect Park. You'll see the Long Meadow, the Ravine, the Boathouse & Audubon Center, historic Lefferts House, beautiful bridges and arches, and so much more.
Along the way, your guide will recount the history of Olmsted and Vaux's Brooklyn masterpiece and how their experiences with Central Park shaped this park's trajectory, and Brooklyn's too. Your guide will also take questions as you go, to help you feel right at home.
