Program areas at Prospect Park Alliance
Visitor Services and Events: Prospect Park receives more than 10 million visits each year and the Alliance serves visitors to the Park by offering a variety of fee-based recreational activities, public and private events, and food service operations. Recreational activities include a year-round tennis center and carousel rides in the summer. Food and beverage services are available for refreshment, private events may be held at a number of different locations, and public events are coordinated throughout the year. The Alliance sublicenses the LeFrak Center and works closely with the operator to provide a variety of year round recreational activities.
Field Operations: Prospect Park Alliance partners with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) in caring for the Park's natural environment. The Landscape Management Team monitors, restores and maintains 250 acres of natural areas, coordinating volunteers and the Alliance's Woodlands Youth Crew in this work. The Alliance also provides maintenance staff, supplementing the staff of NYC Parks in cleaning the Park as well as providing a crew to make repairs.
Design and Construction: Prospect Park Alliance restores the landscape and buildings within the Park while preserving the historic design. Projects are taken through a design and approval process, in partnership with the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation, and are supervised during construction by Prospect Park Alliance. Projects designed by Prospect Park Alliance have won a number of prestigious awards.
Prospect Park Alliance offers educational programs teaching visitors about the natural world and its stewardship, helping to support the Alliance's mission to maintain the Park as a resource for New York City, especially those New Yorkers from underserved and low to mid-income neighborhoods. The Park's Audubon Center and Lefferts Historic House Museum provide important educational and cultural programming. Prospect Park also has a very active Volunteer Corps that is made up of community members who donate their time and energy and are critical to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of the Park.
