Lakeside at Prospect Park

This $74 million project overhauled 26 acres of the park’s southeast corner and now offers year-round fun. The LeFrak Center houses two huge, state-of-the-art rinks, one covered and one open-air where kids can take hockey and skating lessons beside scenic Prospect Park Lake. The space doubles as a roller-skating rink in the spring and summer. There's also a boat dock and wading pools along the restored waterside.
