It has been nearly 30 years since anyone has been attached by Polar bears in Prospect Park , but to this day the loop remains a good place to practice running away from them.

Full loop is just under 4 miles . Want something a little shorter? Take a left just past the ballfields and you'll cut a mile off your total.

This is an amazing park . My favorite in Brooklyn. It's great for locals or tourists looking for a rest. It's what my tax dollars pay for and I big reason I live in the neighborhood .

If you want to ride hard, aim to finish your ride by 7am. The recreational cyclists and runners start swarming in around then. Watch out for horses!

If you're running counter-clockwise, there's a serious hill for the last .5 mile . You'll pass me on it.

This loop is a great for runners or cyclists, with varying terrain, horse poop obstacles, and it’s lit for an evening run, ride or stroll.

Try walking/running the opposite way the traffic flows for a different experience and view of the park .

distance on the drive is 3.35 miles . distance on border sidewalk is 3.75 miles

After a long day at this great park , I like to head over to Bogota Latin Bistro on 5th Avenue for a mojito (or 3): Read more

Came here for earth day! Wonderful park . Very clean , spacious , not too crowded .

Best times to run are weekdays in the early morn if you can. Gets very crowded in the evenings and on weekends.

You can get quite the workout walking here. The park look is like 3.5 miles .

Nice 5k bike loop. Look out for the water posts along the way

4mi loop is great for jogging or cycling. Fewer stoplights than Central Park .

the water fountain under the shade of the trees next to the grand army plaza entrance has the coldest water.

I like to watch how the dominant ethnicities change as I bike the loop. North & West vs. South & East.

The big hill before Grand Army Plaza never gets any easier. Its better to run up it fast to get it over with!

I don't get the counterclockwise hate. It's got two lanes people. There's even pictures!! (See picture)

Great scenery, good escape from the hustle and bustle. :)

On Sunday, March 18, the Park Slope St. Patrick's Day Parade steps off at 1 p.m., starting at Prospect Park West and 14th Street.

There is horse poop . So watch out.. I love the monuments that are there.

I love jogging there mostly every night :-) gotta stay active and get into shape

Inside of the path for clockwise running, outside for counterclockwise

Look for more space for runners , coming soon

Having this track nearby makes me want to get on my bike and ride, around and around!

Great fun to cycle around and find a good BBQ area Read more

Watch out for people who can't read the signs as to where to run/walk vs. where to bike . Read more

Good for a picnic

Lots of open space

uh oh. 12 miles . #brc #brkthru @AsnraeK shafferdc

Gorgeous park

Place to work out

Run the transverses in the middle of the park . The loop plus two transverses are 4.85 miles !

watch out for the horse poop . It's a moving target ! and who's that guy kicking the huge ball up the hill ?

Super cool statues & fountain .

Don't be a wuss, do the stairs before the lake

Ojan best was here!!!

Look out for falling acorns!

Autumn in the park—there's nothing better.

If you run clockwise , people will give you dirty looks. (To that I say, whatev. Gotta even it out.)

Me & my bike love the loop

three loops = 10 miles

Better location than NYC. Sam Chanin

Defeat the hill !

Don't be the loser running in the center or in the wrong direction. Toughen up and run up the big hill .

don't be that guy who runs the wrong way around the loop!
