Confirmed from Prospect Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreation spot with a kids' playground, walking trails & a fishing pond, plus disc golf & baseball.

“It has excellent trails, and great playground, historic pavilion, a beautiful lake, disc golf course, basketball, court, baseball field, and so much more!”
I love this park. The pond is a great place to visit. The frisby golf course is decent. The big hill is epic for sledding. Their playground is ok. They also have some covered areas for things like parties and get to. There is lots of room to run around and lots of big mature oak trees.
This is a great park! It has excellent trails, and great playground, historic pavilion, a beautiful lake, disc golf course, basketball, court, baseball field, and so much more! It is definitely worth bringing the family to this park if you are in the area!
There is a Small pond, different difficulty levels of walking paths, gazebo, play ground, Frisbee golf, and wild life. There are seasonal bath rooms, and a place that can be rented.
We love the pond, and the park, my kids especially love the baby swing where mom and baby can swing together. There’s a nice walking path and there is also frisbee golf
