Mount Prospect Park

Hidden Gem
Settled between the Brooklyn Museum, the library and the botanic garden, Mount Prospect Park boasts the second highest point in Brooklyn. The site was once a lookout for the Continental Army in 1776 for its far views of the Manhattan skyline. This is a good spot to get away from the city bustle and relax in the grassy parkland- a switch-up from the populated Central Park. The park- Eastern Pkwy. at Underhill Ave., Brooklyn, NY [Photo via]
