The same architects who designed Central Park in Manhattan, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, were created this beautiful Brooklyn park. Unlike its more famous cousin in Manhattan, Prospect Park is not surrounded by skyscrapers. Many Olmsted fans dub this 526-acre park his crowning achievement. It features horseback riding, ice skating, tennis, paddle boats and a carousel, as well as the Prospect Park Wildlife Center. There is a band shell for concerts, and Prospect Lake is full of ducks, geese and swans.

After designing Central Park, landscaper Frederick Law Olmsted perfected the urban oasis with this outer-borough gem.
OverviewThis park is to Brooklyn what Central Park is to Manhattan, yet Prospect Park is wilder and less structured than its counterpart. A
