Another clean up of Mount Prospect Park

Another clean up of Mount Prospect Park

The summer is a busy season of get together, birthdays, picnics, meeting with friends, and Mount Prospect Park is a favorite in the neighborhood. However, the NYC Parks also had its budget cut and the trash cans are overflowing.

It was time to do something. A team of volunteers came today to provide some TLC to the park. Lots of trash was picked up and some weeding was also done (see before and after photos).

THANK YOU ALL!

If you have a trash picker, work gloves or weeding supplies, feel free to bring them. There will be supplies on loan as well. Many of us joke about Mount Prospect Park being our block’s backyard. It’s a wonderful resource and brings together many from our community. I hope you can join the clean up event!

Time to also renew your CuRBA membership or support the block association! There will be a table where you can do so in-person on Sunday as well.

Looking forward to see all of you and thanks to the Partnerships for Parks for this second annual Mt. Prospect Park Clean Up.

THANKS to all the volunteers who participated in the event.

Tour of the Neighborhood by Francis Morrone

The Historic Districts Council organized a tour of our neighborhood. It was a great way to learn and discover the history and architecture of where we live.

Check our YouTube Channel to see some excerpts.

Often we hear that the current Brooklyn Museum is a quarter of what it was initially meant to be. Francis Morrone, during a tour of the neighborhood, explain what the plan was, what was fueling and what happened in the end.
