Peninsula

The Peninsula juts out into the Park's 60-acre Lake, providing one of the most isolated and inviting places to enjoy the Park’s beautiful terrain and the Lake’s varied shoreline. A trail leads you to the tip of the Peninsula, revealing a vista of the Lake’s far shore and Duck Island, which you can observe from a rustic pavilion practically enclosed by water.

 

Butterfly on the Peninsula

 

The Peninsula attracts a variety of waterfowl - including geese, cormorants, and mallards that stop to feed along the shoreline. It is located on the northern edge of the Lake, and is near the Lullwater and Pedal Boat rentals at Wollman Rink.


Directions
To reach the Peninsula, enter the Park through the Vanderbilt Street/Prospect Park Southwest entrance, or the Lincoln Road/Ocean Avenue entrance and walk toward the interior of the Park.  Click here to view this location on our Interactive Map.
