I live near the biggest park in the borough, Prospect Park which is 4 acres of forest, playgrounds, bandshells, two lakes(one has a waterfall in it), and an iceskating rink. Brooklyn is also famous for her bridges....the Brooklyn Bridge, which connects us and Manhattan was the longest in America when it was built, but then the Verrazzano Bridge was even longer when it was built between Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Brooklyn has its own museum, filled with ancient Egyptian art, and a botanical garden full of beautiful rose and Japanese gardens. We evn invented a few words in Brooklyn...like the word 'parkway' named after Eastern Parkway, so named because it ran along the whole east side of Prospect Park. People all say that Brooklyn! invented pizza, and we have the best pizzarias here. George Washington took his troops through Prospect Park, and it helped America win the Revolutionary War. By hiding in the forest(it was not a park yet), Washington and his men could sneak food and weapons to other soldiers. There are lots of famous people from Brooklyn, such as John Travolta and Foxy Brown.

Usually, me and my best friend Victoria walk all around Brooklyn....there's so much to see and do here...
