Join us for an insightful 2-hour walking tour of Prospect Park hosted by Turnstile Tours and delve into the park’s rich history, ongoing restoration, ecological preservation, current cultural and recreational programs. In this interactive venture, see how Prospect Park has transformed over the years, from being the brainchild of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux to its current use. Starting from Grand Army Plaza, we guide you through several key natural and historical landmarks of the park, notably, Long Meadow, the ingeniously crafted LeFrak Center at Lakeside, and the Ravine, Brooklyn’s biggest natural forest. The tour also includes exclusive backstage access to historical sites and features in the park.

Turnstile Tours conducts these tours on behalf of Prospect Park Alliance, a non-profit body that nurtures, rejuvenates, and promotes the park in cooperation with the city of New York.
