  General Info
In partnership with the City of New York and the community, the Prospect Park Alliance restores, develops, and operates Prospect Park for the enjoyment of all by caring for the natural environment, preserving historic design, and serving the public through facilities and programs.
The Alliance has boosted public awareness of the crucial role parks play in the urban environment, while gaining support from donors and volunteers for the restoration projects that have brought Prospect Park back to prominence.
It was instrumental in the restoration of the 1912 Carousel, the transformation of Lefferts Historic House into the first children's historic house museum in the United States, the renovation of the Park's playgrounds, and the capital campaign to save Brooklyn's only forest - a restoration of 150 acres of ailing woodlands in the Park's Ravine.
