Prospect Park

Prospect Park

The weather's set to be beautiful today, not to hot and not too cold. Sounds like the perfect day to spend in one of our city's many great parks. Head over to Prospect Park, and maybe you can even grab some fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables at the Bartel-Pritchard Greenmarket.
