Sightseeing
Brooklyn’s answer to Central Park, and also designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. This gorgeous, rambling park is jam packed with life and activities. Have a picnic, go for a run on the ~4.5 mile loop, see a performance at the bandshell, rent a rowboat at the Boathouse. The park is a ~10-15 minute walk straight down Garfield Place, and is definitely worth a visit!
