What do you like best about Prospect Park?

From AM New York

Tell us your favorite place -- or thing to do -- in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

I take my mountain bike through the park, so I don't just complete the loop. I might start on the paths, but I end up at the top of large hills, on the paths used by the Cross Country runners or the trails only seen by horseback.

My mothers snapshots of herself in the 1920's, dressed in white, with her large picture hat, and beautiful smile. She was standing on one of the bridges. She loved Prospect Park!

I love that I can be in the Park at 6 a.m. enjoying the beauty of the Park with my dog off leash.
