Crystal Loop

Brooklyn

🌅"Perfect for a summer sunset bike ride"
🏃‍♀️Named after Crystal, who ran 3:18 at Berlin Marathon
🌳Designed by Olmsted and Vaux, the Central Park architects

This flat, three-mile loop gifts you epic views of Grand Army Plaza's triumphal arch and the Art Deco Brooklyn Public Library while tracing Prospect Park's historic edge. Named after a local marathoner, it's runner nirvana: smooth pavement, gentle grades, and that golden-hour light hitting the arch just right.
