162 Prospect Park W (btwn 10th & 11th St) Brooklyn , NY 11215 United States
Easy access off Prospect Park West with water play and both little and big kid swings .
I just adopted the dogwood between the swings and the boy's bathroom . Be sure to visit and say "hi!" to it when you're nearby.
Lots of great playgrounds in Prospect Park ... this one has a big old Jack & the Beanstalk type harp statue that's a sprinkler in the summer.
Remember: the gates open in toward the playground . I tried to pull them open and wrenched my arm something fierce.
A large fun playground . My kid loves it.
Have a picnic . It's pretty much 'anything goes' here.
Go early in the hot months, the swings are directly in the sun. Too hot for little legs!
Bring along swimsuit so kiddies can play in the very nice harp water feature.

This is an amazing park. My favorite in Brooklyn. It's great for locals or tourists looking for a rest. It's what my tax dollars pay for and I big reason I live in the neighborhood. - Lauren Dellaquila
