Lonely Planet review

Not quite as famous as the iconic Central Park, this lush green oasis is considered an equal masterpiece from designers Olmsted and Vaux. Its 585 acres contain the gorgeous Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, numerous lakes, bike paths, meadows and running routes. The soaring arched entrance at Grand Army Plaza, not far from the Brooklyn Museum and next to the Brooklyn Public Library, is one of the borough's most celebrated sights.
