About us

Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the mid-nineteenth century, Prospect Park is one of Brooklyn’s most treasured destinations and a national landmark. The Prospect Park Alliance is a nonprofit organization founded in 1987 to restore and maintain Prospect Park after a long period of steady deterioration and decline. We preserve the natural environment, restore historic design and provide public programs and amenities for the Park, which receives more than 10 million visits each year. The Alliance plays a significant role in funding the operating budget that keeps the Park clean, safe and beautiful, and employs three-quarters of the staff that take care of the Park and engage its diverse surrounding communities. Today, Prospect Park is an international model for urban parks, and one of the premier green spaces in the United States.

Prospect Park Alliance's design of the Upper and Lower Vale in Prospect Park with NYC Parks and the Shirley Chisholm Monument by Amanda Williams and Olalekan Jeyifous in with our partners, NYC Parks, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs + NYC DOT have been recognized for innovative, sustainable, and community-centered design at the 42nd annual Awards for Excellence in Design by the Public Design Commission! The Vale is one of the park's historic yet little-known landscapes in its northeast corner. The Alliance's work to ensure that this area is a lush and vibrant community destination is core to our work to ensure that all Brooklynites know that Prospect Park is a place for all. The Shirley Chisholm Monument coming to Prospect Park will serve as an homage to Chisholm as an iconic Brooklyn trailblazer and beacon to welcome our community into Brooklyn's Backyard.
