Prospect Park Moonlight Ride

8:54 PM EST on January 28, 2007

Join Time's Up! as they discover Prospect Park at night. Prospect Park is a 526-acre urban oasis located in the heart of Brooklyn.

The Prospect Park Moonlight Ride is opened to bikers and skilled skaters. This is a safe, peaceful ride that visits many of the little-known treasures the park has to offer. (There is also a Central Park Moonlight Ride.)

Rain at 8:45 pm cancels the ride, period. Snow is good!!!

If you want to race, this is NOT the ride for you. The ride is at night, and it gets dark amongst all the trees in Prospect Park, so bring your favorite bike -- the one with lights.
