Smaller and calmer than Grand Army Plaza, the Bartel-Pritchard market is where South Slope and Windsor Terrace neighbors do their Sunday shopping under big trees at the 15th Street park entrance. You can pick up fish, bread and flowers and be on the Long Meadow in two minutes. If you live nearby or are starting a park day from the south end, it is the easy, low-key option.
What to expect
A compact row of farm stands lines the square by the park's southwest entrance. Expect seasonal produce, fish, baked goods and plants, with dogs and strollers heading into the park around you.
Good to know
- The 15th St–Prospect Park F/G station exits right at the square.
- Bring your own bags.
- Morning visits get the widest choice.
- The Long Meadow and Picnic House are a short walk into the park.
Going? Keep it.
