If you're looking for an Official Holbrook-Sanctioned Summertime Activity (TM), try the paddle boats in Prospect Park! And then eating too much at the splash pad cafe to be able to comfortably ride your bike home for a little while! And then waiting too long to start for home so that you get totally rained on.
It's AWESOME. And BYOBP.

On the southwest side of Prospect Park, just south of the Prospect Park Zoo is the LeFrak Center at Lakeside, which on its own is such a wonderful name. There's a roller rink and a giant splash pad, you can rent out crazy looking family-size bikes and paddle boats (kayaks, soon!), and there's a really great cafe where you can sit and stuff yourself silly while watching your kid run around in the ankle-deep water like a lunatic. (Try the macaroni!)
I'm not your bro, bro!
And then there's the burger with the bacon and the avocado. Comes with crazy good fries. And insane chocolate cupcakes with fudge-y pudding centers. WE CLOSED THIS PLACE OUT. Huck had his first encounter with root beer (not sold on it). It was a pretty great day.
And now you know! Quit yer whining, turkey!
Open till 7 (6 on Sundays)

How fun! This post was so timely because my husband and I are moving to NYC in the fall and we've been apartment hunting around the Prospect Park area!
