The Park is home to Brooklyn’s last forest and its only freshwater lake. Hundreds of species of fish, birds, waterfowl and turtles – creatures from every walk of life - live in the Park, sharing 585 acres of breathtaking green space with a rich variety of plant life. Prospect Park also houses the nation’s first urban Audubon Center, the 18th-century Lefferts Historic House, and a wealth of exciting recreational activities to add some action to school trips. With so many educational resources, Prospect Park is one of the world’s largest classrooms!
