The experience
A 478-acre cemetery founded in 1838 on the hills of western Brooklyn, so popular with day-trippers that it became the borough's first public park by default and helped provoke the design competitions that produced Central Park and Prospect Park. It holds around 600,000 graves, Leonard Bernstein and Boss Tweed among them, is a certified arboretum, and gives skyline views from its ridges. Entry is free, daily 7am to 7pm.
Brooklyn's first public park is still a cemetery, and still the best long walk in the borough.
