Visite du parc Prospect

Aperçu
Explore Prospect Park on this 2-hour guided walking tour and learn about historic restoration and environmental preservation work in the Park, including cultural and recreation projects currently underway. This interactive experience explores how Prospect Park has changed over time, from the original vision of designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux to the ways in which the Park is used today. Tours begin at Grand Army Plaza and take visitors through many of the key natural and historic landmarks of the park, including the breathtaking Long Meadow, the innovatively-designed LeFrak Center at Lakeside, and the Ravine, the largest natural forest in Brooklyn. This tour also features a special behind-the-scenes visit to historic sites and features within the park.

These tours are offered by Turnstile Tours on behalf of Prospect Park Alliance, the non-profit organization that sustains, restores, and advances the Park in partnership with New York City.

The history of this natural wonder is fascinating and is shared with lots of chances to ask questions. Information about current projects and renovations and plans for the future are shared. The guide was deeply knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour for those that live in the neighborhood and for visitors.

Wanted to do something different for my birthday so I booked this tour for a group of family & friends. Our guide Corrine was amazing and full of enthusiasm. She made the tour fun and such a great learning experience. Corrine not only provided interesting facts about Prospect Park but also made it interactive by asking us questions & taking questions. Would definitely recommend this tour.

What a wonderful tour, giving us a good overview of much of the park! The route was comfortable (not many uphills) and well-paced--the perfect balance between seeing a lot of the highlights and being able to pause to absorb the beauty of the park. Corinne was our delightful tour guide, knowledgeable and personable. Our group included both newcomers and frequent visitors to the park; we all learned about the history of the park as well as future plans. Highly recommend!
