Fleet Week New York, May 24 - May 31, is the city’s time-honored celebration of the sea services. It is an unparalleled opportunity for the citizens of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as witness firsthand the latest capabilities of today’s maritime services. The weeklong celebration has been held nearly every year since 1984.
A summer evening in Manhattan is made complete with a great skyline and the stars, planets, and moon in full view. Manhattan provides a great backdrop as we peer heavenward to see celestial wonders with the help of the Amateur Astronomer's Assocation.
Families and children can enjoy nature and explore the park on their own schedule with Play + Go and Green + Grow Pop-Up Programs! Join Prospect Park Alliance at locations around the park and surrounding neighborhoods as we bring our favorite activities from the Prospect Park Audubon Center and Lefferts Historic House on the road in easy-to-borrow play and go kits.
Come to the Pop-Up and hand pick your own Play + Go Kit with up to five (5) items and mix and match some historic games and toys or nature games and activities. Participate in our new Green + Grow activities by lending a hand in a stewardship activity such as raking, litter patrol, or mulching, and afterward, take a fun nature walk and explore the natural wonders of the park or search for the park’s many historic elements.
