The parks of my life

Prospect Park Bandshell, after Blonde Redhead played a set

Parks are essential to my summer in the city. They’re for picnics, music, sports, parties, lounging and peace. I’ve already compared the New York City parks last spring. Let’s compare & list all my activities at each: Central Park vs. Prospect Park

Central Park
Juana Molina
Philharmonic
Met Opera Rehearsal
Vegan picnic (for Couchsurfing)

Prospect Park
Blonde Redhead
July 3rd Picnic (for CouchSurfing)
Sport Day
Biking loops

Certainly there is not a glaring difference between the two. While I may be  an affinity for Prospect Park, I admit it’s more because of my loyalty to Brooklyn. This summer is one of all boroughs. I’ve spent way more time out of Brooklyn. I have more than a few friends in Manhattan! Thus, Central Park is quite a “central” meeting place. Even when one forgets the crowds, the tourist traps, and its iconic status, it still is a large piece of green to escape to from the chaotic city.
