Hooray for the farmer's market here on Sundays! Also, the water fountain/sprinkler for the kids in the summertime is mighty cute. The drinking fountains get packed with both kids and parents filling up water balloons too. The epitome of Park Slope family time.

This spot gets so crowded as soon as school lets out. It's also the unofficial neighborhood rest area for all the stroller warriors out there in Park Slope; the playground is geared towards the younger set with a fun sandbox and a neat slide.

The park is also the home to the Old Stone House, billed as a historic interpretive center with interesting exhibits about Brooklyn's role in the Revolutionary War and old Dutch influences in the area. It itself is a reconstruction of a 1699 Dutch historic farmhouse.

More for the kids and the after-school crowd, it's not a bad place if you find yourself not wanting to go uphill for three blocks to go to Prospect. It's also surrounded by a few neat businesses and is a stone's throw from the busier end of 5th Avenue.
