Has there been an uptick of creepy guys in the park?

I think there's a dating coach company or something teaching around

“Loops” is a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park that explores themes of loss, time, media, fame, and obsession. It is planned to be released in five parts over the next few years, and Parts 1 and 2 are now available.

To walk “Loops,” bring your phone, headphones, perhaps a portable battery, and maybe a flashlight. Simply put on your headphones, follow the instructions at www.loopsprospectpark.com, and play the tracks. It will take you about three hours, and is free to do with a suggested donation of $10.

Found keys in Prospect Park

Found these in Long Meadow this morning, and they didn't belong to anyone in the immediate vicinity. If they're yours, message me and tell me what other keys are on it.

Anyone recognize this tree trunk and familiar with the history?

This portrait was made in 1988 by photographer Jamel Shabazz and is one of the many wonderful images in his latest photo book “Prospect Park: Photographs of a Brooklyn Oasis, 1980 to 2025” (2026).

I’m interested in learning where in the park this was take and in the history behind the carved tree trunk since I’d never seen it photographed before this book. Judging from the background, my best guess is that this was taken by the old wooden gazebo off of East Dr and across Duck Island, closest to the Parkside Ave entrance, but figured I’d ask here!

Off-leash Dogs

I thought there was a tacit understanding about off-leash hours: If you can't control your dog either verbally or physically and they have been aggressive-you don't unleash them. My dog (who is not aggressive) has been attacked multiple times while he's been leashed and other dogs have not been. Their owners stand there like dipshits yelling while I have had to physically separate them by myself. If you're this person-it's not only rude because you're essentially forcing others to take care of your dog, it's dangerous.

Two kids on an electric citibike harassing people

I was walking in the left pedestrian lane of the loop at the top of the hill by the ball fields and two young teen boys on an electric citibike swerved into the lane right next to me. They were chaotic and almost ran into a person with a dog at the light by the water fountain.

They then rode off into a side path and I journeyed on. A minute later they came back and swerved in front of me to scare me again (the kid on the back went “bah!” ) and I sprinted after them recording. I think they were surprised I pursued them but the thrill probably encouraged them more. Bastards! Then they took off through the center road.

Of course the recording is blurry and I looked like a lunatic but f those kids and the citibike they rode in on. They’re scaring the shit out of people and dogs. Stay safe everyone.
