Taking a class of schoolchildren to Prospect Park is a win-win situation. For the kids, it’s a chance to explore Brooklyn’s best-loved Park; for educators, it’s an opportunity for real, hands-on learning. Programs developed by educators at Prospect Park are specially engineered to help students meet New York State testing standards while engaging them interactively.

And don’t forget: Prospect Park is a great classroom! With lots of free parking, maps and directional signage throughout the Park, and a staggering variety of natural features to support any lesson plan, field trips to the Park are productive and easy to plan.
