Prospect Park Boathouse

4.7 (1,016)A 1905 Beaux-Arts landmark set right on the Lullwater, pairing turn-of-the-century grandeur with quiet lakeside views.
Description
As one of New York City’s earliest designated historic landmarks, the Boathouse looks out across the water toward the Lullwater Bridge. Beyond serving as a backdrop for private celebrations—featuring exclusive catering from Purslane, the team behind Brooklyn spots Rucola, June, and Rhodora—the venue also supports public programming. Community members gather here for workshops and free Saturday morning exercise classes on the second-floor terrace, though the historic building lacks air conditioning during midsummer heat.
