Mount Prospect Park is a 7.79-acre (3.15 ha) park in the central portion of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It includes Mount Prospect, the second highest point in Brooklyn. It is located on Eastern Parkway near Underhill Avenue, close to Grand Army Plaza. The park is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.^[1]

It is a separate entity from the much larger and better-known Prospect Park, which is across Flatbush Avenue from Mount Prospect Park. Mount Prospect Park is on the same block as three other Brooklyn cultural institutions—the Brooklyn Museum to the east, Brooklyn Botanic Garden to the south, and the Central Library of the Brooklyn Public Library to the west.
