Subject: Celebrate Prospect Park's 150th!
Participate in the future of Brooklyn's Backyard  | | | | | Dear Peter Dorosh, Today marks the official 150th anniversary of Prospect Park! On October 19,1867, Brooklyn's Backyard opened to the community for the first time with a special celebration, and tonight, the Empire State Building will light up green in recognition of this milestone. As we celebrate Prospect Park's rich history, we're asking you to shape its future by joining us at a community workshop aimed at reimagining the Prospect Park Rose Garden.
Throughout the summer, Prospect Park Alliance partnered with Hester Street to engage community members across Brooklyn in reimagining Prospect Park's Rose Garden—a little known area in the northeast corner of the Park. We reached almost 2,000 people and gathered over 2,340 ideas through engagement events in and around the Park, and in various Brooklyn neighborhoods. Now we want to share all the great feedback and ideas we received to narrow down the options.
Join us at an upcoming event to learn more about the engagement and design process, hear a report back of all the input we have collected, and narrow down options for the future of the Rose Garden.
We are offering several opportunities to hear your feedback. Please drop by on the day that works best for you, during any of the times listed below. - Thursday, October 26, 5:30–7:30 pm
Flatbush Library
RSVP - Sunday, November 5, 1–5 pm
Central Library
RSVP - Monday, November 13 3:30–5:30 pm
Crown Heights Library
RSVP Each event will cover the same material and be free and open to the public. Refreshments, and Spanish and Haitian Creole translation will be provided. Your input will directly impact the redesign and programming of the future Rose Garden. Bring your family and friends and make the Rose Garden a place that reflects your community! Reimagine Prospect Park is made possible through the generous support of The Altman Foundation. | | | | | | | | | | |  | Prospect Park Alliance is the non-profit organization that sustains the Park. We provide the majority of the staff and resources that keeps the Park green and vibrant. Support us and enjoy great benefits to enhance your Park experience. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prospect Park Alliance
