  In the center of Prospect Park. There are a lot of paths that wind around the area. A lot of steps to climb and get a good cardio workout.

  Really nice spot. Somebody made some very heavy handed improvements about 70 years ago-- concrete stairways that are somewhat decrepit but functional. As Phyllis Sears says, the old carriage drive is a gentle incline if you don't want to climb the stairs, and smoothly paved. Two ovals at the top, the upper one with better views but kind a of shambles -- they were dumping cuttings up here for a long time although not recently. The lower oval is managed as a kind of wildlife refuge with plants that attract birds-- very serene spot. There's a nice soft-surface path that winds around the north/west sides of the hill ideal for runners and anyone else. Way back when they envisioned an observation tower-- I think the park got its name from Mount Prospect, over by the botanic garden, which did not get included within the park. This hill isn't as high and needs a tower to have any view in the summer-- or a storm that knocks down some of the trees to open up the view. This happened a few years back on the south side of the hill, which has the best views, and it was pretty good for awhile but now thickening up again.

  The old carriage drive up to the top has a gentle rise good for strollers or wheelchairs. A wooded hill that takes you away from the sounds of the city. Views better in winter when the leaves are off the trees. Spectacular fall color in November.

  Look out hill is one of Brooklyn's hidden gems. It is a great place to go whether you are alone or with others. It is one of my favorite places. I love to sit on one of the highest steps and eat a hero.
