G WongMarch 22, 2012The nicest expanse of grass in all of NYC that seems to just go on for miles and miles. Come early on the weekend before 9am, and see the ridiculous amount of dogs and their owners playing!
Great lawn to hang out and awesome off leash play for puppies from 9pm to 9am everyday
Wonderful dog runs up to 9 am each day. On weekends it's doggie wonderland. Very fun for them to run around and play together. Kids also love watching the dog parade each morning
The Corcoran GroupNovember 4, 2013Plenty of green space for you to have a picnic on a nice summer day. Bring your dog and let it run free without a leash before 9am.- Scholarship JamaicaJune 24, 2015This is the perfect spot on a Saturday or Sunday day out, it has a lot of green space and cool
Dog tips: Off leash is only in the meadows, not the whole park. Don't take your dog off leash at an entrance, it's too tempting for them to go the wrong way. Always have collars and tags on your dog.
Unlike Central Park, at Prospect Park you're still allowed to play catch and throw a ball around. Make the most of it! :)
Afi Yellow-DukeJuly 30, 2015The best picnic/outdoor afternoon nap/people watching spot in all of Brooklyn… and maybe the whole city too, if I'm being honest.
Doraly PantaleonAugust 12, 2014Good for picnics, laying down, and frisbee. Flying a kite is also pretty neat with all the hills
Michael DonovanOctober 24, 2016I came here to watch the full moon and sleep under the stars. Police try to kick you out but just hide until they get tired.
Lipton Iced TeaJune 29, 2011Check out the Fallen Oak on Elephant Hill, the oldest tree out of the 30,000 in the entire park (300 years), before heading over to the Band Shell for a free summer Concert performance. Also, stroll
Lucy LiuNovember 3, 2012Off leash hours 5am-9am and 9pm- 1am. This is an amazing experience. There's nothing quite like it anywhere. Doggie heaven!

Prospect_ParkAugust 12, 2011Prospect Park Walk-a-thon, Sept 18, 2011 to raise money to keep Prospect Park beautiful. Walk starts at Bartel Pritchard entrance (15th St.) 9 a.m.check-in, 10 a.m. walk! Read more
Come on the weekends in the morning to see lots of dogs. Off-leash ends at 9 AM.
For some reason the stroller pushers seem to congregate on the west side. If you're suffering from crying baby fatigue, walk east.
Frannie WatermanJuly 14, 2012I love Long Meadow. It's very peaceful. I let my 14 month old daughter run around. She loves it.
- Ian FrancisOctober 8, 2010Beautiful park. Grab a book, a ball, a kite, friend, etc. Just get out there and enjoy it!
Jeremy BuschJuly 17, 2011Come with a blanket and spread out for a picnic under the shade of one of the many trees.
F. John RickertAugust 13, 2011I am never very sure how I end up here, but it is always a nice place to find myself in the park.- Prospect_ParkFebruary 27, 2010Sat 2/27 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Parks Dept will have sleds and free hot choc at the hill on the Long Meadow near 9th St path (leading from Prospect Park West) Read more

Hannelore WilliamsSeptember 29, 2010Go with a friend at night and listen to the wind in the leaves. Sounds hippy, but it's awesome.- Red wine in a coke can makes an excellent illicit park beverage
Shade (and frisbee) for the dog, sun (and a good book) for me.

Take your dog here in the morning before 9am and revel in the off-leash glory of it all.
No dogs to play with @ 6 AM on weekdays. I'd come around instead
