Dorothy Bird jumps for the ball as the umpire, known as Prince Leon, calls a sliding Violet West safe, April 12, 1938. The game, in Prospect Park, was played for relaxation and publicity by showgirls in the cast of Hooray for What?, a Broadway musical starring Ed Wynn and featuring songs by Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen.

Summer days spent in the city may very well lead you to one of our borough’s great green spaces… Prospect Park.

“Spending time in the park afforded me a temporary escape from the fast pace of city life,” says Jamel Shabazz. “Photographing in [Prospect Park and Central Park] also provided me with the opportunity to create various distinguished bodies of work, from environmental portraits, candid images of families, and endless celebrations that took place on any given day.”

Add our stoop to your route to or from the park to see portraits like these as part of Jamel Shabazz: Faces and Places, 1980–2023.

In Brooklyn in 1920, a 40–foot Christmas tree was erected in Prospect Park and decorated with 600 red, white, blue, green, and purple electric bulbs. A 50–foot community tree in 1926 surpassed the 1920 tree by ten feet and added 600 more colored electric lights.

Paid for by local civic organizations, the annual report noted that it “made a splendid appearance and could be seen from many streets and avenues approaching the park.” The annual report also noted Christmas trees set up at different points around the park that “when lighted during Christmas time, the illumination cast weird shadows through the trees and was much admired by people who visited the park to witness the display.” Three hundred school children from PS 9 sang Christmas carols around the tree “very much enjoyed by those present,” which included a version of “The Star Spangled Banner,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” capped off with a finale featuring “America, The Beautiful.” Christmas festivals continued into the 1930s at recreation facilities, as part of the regular Park programming, and children sang carols during the holiday season.
