In the heart of the city stands a forest, a jewel of green in a sea of concrete. That jewel is Brooklyn, New York’s Prospect Park. In the REI Coop Studios film, "Saturday in the Park," film narrator Steve Buscemi guides us on a walk through the park where we meet birdwatchers, ecologists, dancers, musicians, volunteers, and so many others who treasure the park.

Prospect Park Alliance (https://www.prospectpark.org) is the nonprofit organization that sustains, restores and advances Brooklyn's Backyard, in partnership with the City of New York. The Alliance provides critical staff and resources that keep Prospect Park green and vibrant for the diverse communities that call Brooklyn home.
