Locals love Lincoln Road playground in Prospect Park.

Nestled among trees and tucked away from busy Brooklyn, lies this shady, cool, sizeable open playground area kids young and old will enjoy exploring.  There are toddler swings, three tire swings, ramps, bridges, bars, rings, slides, and other fun features in this large playground.  There is also a sandbox and a smaller toddler playset area. 

It is near other fun attractions, including the Prospect Park Concert Grove pavilion, the zoo, the Audobon Center, and the roller skating rink and is entirely gated with benches along the side.  It wasn't too busy either which was impressive for it being such an awesome spot for a playground.  It's probably the closest in proximity to most of the activities available.  

This playground is level 3 ADA accessible.

Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
