Prospect Park celebrates its 150th anniversary this weekend with blowout party
From ice disco to bird watching to Smorgasburg
Get ready to party in the park this weekend, when Brooklyn’s fabulous Prospect Park celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Since its opening in 1867, Prospect Park — designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after their completion of Manhattan’s Central Park — has been a beloved space for Brooklynites of all stripes to play, relax and enjoy nature. In honor of this milestone, the Prospect Park Alliance has put together a weekend of special events.
The fun kicks off Friday, March 31, when Coney Island’s magical Lola Star brings the Dreamland Ice Disco to LeFrak Center at Lakeside. Star’s famous roller disco parties, known to attract dancers, hula hoopers, party kids and everyday fun seekers, are not to be missed.
An ebullient Star told the Brooklyn Eagle via email that she is “thrilled to introduce the world’s first ever Ice Disco!!! Ice disco is like roller disco but on ice skates!!!
