Brooklyn - Park Slope in June

Late spring through early fall gives you Park Slope at its finest. May brings tree-lined streets in full bloom and perfect weather for wandering Prospect Park. Summer means outdoor dining, weekend barbecues in the park, and the Saturday farmers market at Grand Army Plaza in full swing. September and October offer ideal temperatures plus gorgeous fall foliage - the maple trees along Prospect Park West put on quite a show. Winter has its charms too. The brownstones look magical with snow, and cozy restaurants become even more appealing. But some outdoor attractions close or reduce hours. Spring can be unpredictable - beautiful one day, rainy the next. The neighborhood truly comes alive when families can spend time outside, so plan accordingly.
