Prospect Park is Brooklyn’s most iconic park, and it’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re a dog owner! The park opened in 1867, and is the second largest public park in Brooklyn, behind Marine Park, with an area of 526 acres. It features the 90-acre Long Meadow, a picnic house, zoo, boathouse, Brooklyn’s only lake, and a bandshell.

Prospect Park is also home to Brooklyn’s only forest, located right in the center of the park, known as the Ravine. There’s even a Quaker cemetery in the park!

With so much to explore, there’s no question that this crown jewel is a great place to visit with a dog.
