In partnership with the City of New York and the community, the Prospect Park Alliance restores, develops, and operates Prospect Park for the enjoyment of all by caring for the natural environment, preserving historic design, and serving the public through facilities and programs.
Visitor Services and Events: Prospect Park receives more than 10 million visits each year and the Alliance serves visitors to the Park by offering a variety of fee-based recreational activities, public and private events, and food service operations. Recreational activities include a year-round tennis center and carousel rides in the summer. Food and beverage services are available for refreshment in the Park. Private events may be held at a number of different locations within the Park and public events in the Park are coordinated throughout the year. The Alliance sublicenses the LeFrak Center and works closely with the operator to provide a variety of year round recreational activities.
Design and Construction: Prospect Park Alliance restores the landscape and buildings within the Park while preserving the historic design. Projects are taken through a design and approval process, in partnership with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation, and are supervised during construction by Prospect Park Alliance. Projects designed by Prospect Park Alliance have won a number of prestigious awards.
Field Operations: Prospect Park Alliance partners with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation in caring for the natural environment within the Park. The Arboriculture crew helps to care for the roughly 40,000 trees of Prospect Park which include 150 species and make up Brooklyn's only forest. Prospect Park provides priceless natural habitat for wildlife and park visitors as well as a much needed migration stop for thousands of birds and the Park has been designated an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society. The Park's 250 acres of natural areas are maintained and monitored year-round by the Alliance's Natural Resources Crew, which works with volunteers and the Woodlands Youth Crew to restore sections in the Park designated as natural areas. The Natural Resources Crew also engages youth through its work with the Woodlands Youth Crew. The Alliance provides maintenance staff at the Parade Ground, which was renovated and restored with public funds, as well as supplementing other areas of operations in the Park.
