[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Prospect Park transportation directions
I’ve been asked by members of the Brooklyn Bird Club to post some information about travel to Prospect Park. Please do not drive here if you can avoid it, especially on the weekend. Parking is difficult, traffic is congested, and it is easy to reach us by subway. The closest subway station is Prospect Park on the B and Q trains (only Q runs on the weekend). Stay towards the front of the train if you’re coming from Manhattan, turn right as you exit the station on Lincoln Rd. and you will see the park across Ocean Avenue. The Midwood, current location of the warbler, is just to the right (north) once you get into the park. Follow the East Drive until you meet Center Drive, the walk left (west). You can also take the F, G or 2 train, and walk through the park. There are many maps around the park, along with PEPs and other park workers who can direct you. If you’re coming this afternoon keep in mind that Ocean Avenue becomes two lanes of traffic southbound at 4PM, so no parking on that side. There are always many events in the park on the weekend, especially Smorgasburg on Sunday, which brings lots of crowds and traffic. Thank you. Good luck getting the bird.
