Description




Day-to-day stewardship belongs to a partnership between the City of New York and the non-profit Prospect Park Alliance, which provides the resources and staffing to keep the grounds green and vibrant for Brooklyn's communities. While much of the landscape functions as an active civic commons, it also holds distinct retreats like the Rose Garden, an enclave of nature and architecture appreciated as a rare pocket of silence and peace for people and animals.
