Free outdoor movies on summer Thursdays

Brooklyn's first park is a leafy 30-acre retreat with Revolutionary War history and winding paths designed by the same architects behind Central Park. Come for the shaded lawns and tennis courts, stay for the free outdoor movies, poetry readings, and weekend farmers markets that make this a true neighborhood living room.
