 Hours | Directions | History | Permits | Snack Bar | Tennis Center | Stewart Playground
Some of professional baseball’s finest athletes, including Sandy Koufax, Joe Torre, and Manny Ramirez, once honed their skills at the Prospect Park Parade Ground. Re-opened in spring 2004 after a four-year renovation, the legendary fields on the 40-acre site serve local schools, leagues, and clubs for baseball, tennis, soccer, basketball, and football for both children and adults.
The Parade Ground features Stewart Playground and the Prospect Park Tennis Center.
The Parade Ground features eleven reconstructed athletic fields, including a premiere baseball diamond with covered dugouts, bleachers, and night lighting. There are three additional baseball fields, two softball fields, one football field, one soccer field, three multi-purpose fields, basketball and volleyball courts, and full-service concessions facilities with picnic and seating areas. And, with artificial turf, five of the fields can be used year-round. Designed and managed by the Prospect Park Alliance with intensive community input, the Parade Ground is ready for the next generation of Brooklyn’s star athletes!
