Parks & Nature
Prospect Park
Brooklyn's very own Central Park
Less than an hour from NYC's center is Rockaway Beach. Still within the confines of the city and reachable by The AC Train, Rockaway Beach has access to the Ocean, a boardwalk, and the Bay. People are always surprised to see surfers, dolphins, endangered birds, and fishing in this city. All of which are alive and well.
