The Well Intentioned Walk gathers on the lawn at Park Circle, Prospect Park's southwest gateway near the Parade Ground, where Olmsted and Vaux's 526-acre park meets Ocean Parkway. The park's southern end is quieter than Grand Army Plaza, with wide lawns and loop paths that suit an easy group stroll. If you want a low-key way to get outside and move this weekend, this is a simple one to join.
What to expect
The event is permitted for the southeast lawn at Park Circle, just inside Prospect Park's southwest corner. The surrounding park has a paved loop and tree-lined paths; it's an outdoor gathering in a public park, so dress for the weather and plan on being on your feet.
