5 /5 Joe Ruiz: Prospect Park is one of Brooklyn’s gems. I had the privilege of growing up here on 13st but as an asthmatic I suffered through allergy season and during changing seasons. YMCA swimming helped build my strength and immunity so I began enjoying my beloved Prospect Park… Park Slope Boy to the heart!!! Great activities and playgrounds for the kids just keep your kids close and please clean up behind your BBQ’s
