Prospect Park

Why go

Prospect Park feels different from downtown's flat blocks: winding residential streets climb toward Tower Hill, where the distinctive water tower marks the skyline. Its mix of older homes and university-area housing reveals how the neighborhood developed around uneven terrain and changing transit. The visit is a neighborhood walk, with the tower's exterior and views from its base as the clearest anchors.

What to look for

• The Witch's Hat water tower crowns Tower Hill Park.
• Older houses stand along the neighborhood's sloping residential streets.
• The hill gives a view toward the city without entering the tower.

Useful to know

• Walk the neighborhood and Tower Hill paths; do not plan to climb the closed water tower.
• Allow extra time for the slopes and treat the map point as an area anchor rather than the whole neighborhood.
