Prospect Park

I love how the parks and squares really are used by neighbor residents in New York. I wish more people in DC did. Rather they are merely havens for the homeless.

things are so compressed here, residentially and socially, that the parks are some of the only large, open spaces to do anything outdoors. theyre kept up well enough, and are constantly filled with all sorts of people doing a million different things, especially on the weekends. though the photos above were made on a monday afternoon. i love prospect park.

Peter, great job on the park. It's been many years since I was there. Let's see, yes, when Ebets Field was still there. I often went to see Robinson and Snyder play ball and then go to the park for a run.
