I love Prospect Park, you love Prospect Park. Never heard of Prospect Park? Ah, you’re gonna love it, too. Located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, the 585 acre park draws 8-10 million visitors annually, yet forever remains in the shadow of fellow Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux designed Central Park. Some bike, some stroll, but most pull up with a blanket, crack open a refreshing beverage, and kick back with their crew for hours among 30,000 trees of more than 175 species.
Lots of visitors mean lots of wear and tear on the beloved outer borough park, however, and that’s where Prospect Park Alliance comes in. A nonprofit dedicated to the care and upkeep of the park, which exists on Munsee Lenape and Canarsie native land, they most recently partnered with Parks Project on the release of a playful, colorful collection highlighting the urban oasis. Sales from which benefi the nonprofit directly.
