More than 90 trees were damaged in Prospect Park during the recent storms, leaving fallen branches, blocked entrances, and debris throughout parts of the park.

Crews from the Prospect Park Alliance and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation quickly began clearing entrances and removing fallen branches following the storms.

Visitors may still find some trails closed and certain sections of the park blocked off while cleanup work continues. Park officials are asking visitors to remain patient and stay away from restricted areas.

Staff members and volunteers are continuing to remove debris and address the widespread damage throughout the park.
