Brooklyn, New York
Park Slope
Brownstone streets, independent shops, and easy access to Prospect Park's meadows, paths, and playgrounds.
Make Prospect Park the anchor
Plan a park walk or picnic, then explore Fifth or Seventh Avenue for food and shops. Distances inside the park add up, so choose an entrance near the part you actually want to visit.
A family-friendly pace
Combine one playground or park stop with a meal instead of crossing the whole neighborhood. For nearby museums, gardens, and special events, check admission and hours independently.
Getting here
Useful stations include Seventh Avenue on the F/G and Grand Army Plaza on the 2/3. The best stop depends on which side of the neighborhood you are visiting.
