This place is only open to the public on special occasions, but if you stumble upon it on one of those days it's a serene park to walk around and escape the bustle of the rest of the park.

Open only once a month to the public. Usually every third Saturday 11 am-3 pm.

Fascinating little cemetery in the middle of Prospect Park. It is fenced, still private and still in use, belonging to the Quakers of Brooklyn. It is a little hard to find, and is fenced off from the rest of the park. It pre-dates not only the park, but Brooklyn as a whole, too, having been founded in 1849. Montgomery Clift is buried here at the request of his Quaker mother.
