Parks & Nature
This park built by the same designer as Central Park- Fred Law Olmsted. He felt that His Prospect Park design was his crowning achievement. It is beautiful, lots to do, boating or fishing on the lake, listening to drummer circles, concerts at the bandshell, explore fountains, ponds, trails. You can even rent horses and go riding in the park!
