Fort Greene Park is a true neighborhood gem filled with gorgeously tall trees and natural beauty in the middle of the bustling and hip neighborhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Often referred to as a "mini-Central Park", Fort Greene Park has beautiful walking paths, two playgrounds, a nature center, and the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument (100 granite steps up!) in the center of the park. Let the children run and play, race them up the stairs, visit the bugs in the nature center, or have a picnic.
