Park Drive Repaving: Starting Wednesday, March 15, the Park Drive will be repaved in phases from Park Circle to Grand Army Plaza on weeknight overnight hours (8 pm-4 am). Portions of the Park Drive will have a rough surface on some weekdays: cyclists are advised to take alternate routes, including along protected bicycle lanes along the Parkside Avenue, Flatbush Avenue and Prospect Park West perimeters. Visit the NYCDOT website for updates.
Hiking is the ultimate way to enjoy the outdoors and a fun way to reduce stress. Urban Park Ranger hiking guides will introduce you to the hidden gems of New York City. This will be a light exploration through Prospect Park to see the natural areas and waterfalls that were part of the park design by Vaux and Olmstead to imitate the serenity of mountains upstate. This tour leaves promptly at 1 pm.
