Guidebook for Flatbush/Lefferts
Parks & Nature
My favorite place in all of New York City. There's a 5K track, hiking trails, lakes, fields, playgrounds, pedal boats, kayaking, bike rentals, and more. There are often concerts in the summer, a lot of them free. An absolute must-visit in my neighborhood.

An absolutely beautiful place to spend a nice day. Pro tip: student tickets are only $6, and the people working often don't mind if you "forgot" your ID.
There's an entrance very close by on the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Empire Blvd.
