Parks & Nature
A great place to get lost in! Miles and miles of road and trails if you like to run or bike, or just walk around in the back woods. The lake has paddle boats for rent, and there's a roller rink in the summer and ice skating in the winter (see "Le Frak Center"). There is also a free concert series during the summer at the 9th street Bandshell called Celebrate Brooklyn, where all sorts of famous musical acts come through!
