Mount Prospect Park, Public park in Brooklyn, United States
Mount Prospect Park spans across 7.79 acres of land in central Brooklyn, featuring green spaces and paths at an elevation of 200 feet above sea level.
The Continental Army used this strategic location as a lookout point during the Battle of Long Island in 1776, monitoring movements across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The park forms part of Brooklyn's cultural district, positioned between the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch.
Multiple subway lines and bus routes connect to Mount Prospect Park, with entrances along Eastern Parkway and Underhill Avenue providing easy access points.
As the second-highest point in Brooklyn, the park's elevation formerly provided clear views stretching from Manhattan to the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island.
