Nature Exploration: Lake Appreciation

Join the Prospect Park Alliance for a day of family-friendly nature exploration and wellness! Celebrate Brooklyn's only lake in July with activities like Pond Water Discovery from 10 AM to 3 PM, where you can use magnifying glasses to observe the diverse insects, plants, and animals that inhabit the park's waterbodies alongside park naturalists. From 1 PM to 2 PM, get up close to water-dwelling creatures during the Animal Encounter, learning about their habitats and roles in the ecosystem. Then, from 2 PM to 3 PM, take part in "Nature on the Go!" by enjoying a scenic walk along the lake while helping to remove litter. Additionally, join the Prospect Park Wellness Walk on Fridays through October, starting promptly at 10 AM from the Prospect Park Boathouse, where you can enjoy scenic trails along the Lullwater, Peninsula, Midwood, or Waterfall. RSVP via Eventbrite is required for all events, so check your email for updates and confirmation of participant requirements before attending!
