POLL: How Late Do You Feel Safe in Prospect Park?
There are a surprising number of joggers and bikers on the drive at night. How late will you go?
Many people clear out of Prospect Park as soon as the sky turns pink. But head in after dark and a surprising number of people are exercising or heading home on the main drive.
Robert Joseph, 29, of Crown Heights, and Chase Agauello, 27, of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, go running and rollerblading on the drive, respectively, two-to-three times a week—as late as 11:30 p.m. on some summer nights. They work during the day, and evenings is their only opportunity to get in a mid-week workout.
But no matter how dark, they say they always feel safe.
"There are a lot of things going on, bikers, joggers," said Agauello.
