Beginning January 2, 2018, Prospect Park will go completely car-free, Mayor de Blasio announced on Monday. The program comes after last summer’s two-month testing period where cars were banned from the park.

“The park was built before the automobile existed,” de Blasio said, near its entrance at Grand Army Plaza. “The park was not built with cars in mind. They didn’t exist. The park was built for people.”

After the testing period ended, more than 1,000 people signed petitions sent to New York City calling for the return of full-time car-free hours for the entire park, according to the mayor’s office.

Currently, Prospect Park’s East Drive is still open to cars during morning rush hour. The park’s West Drive has been permanently closed to cars since 2015.

“Prospect Park is Brooklyn’s backyard. I married Chirlane here. This is where my kids played little league. And I have always wanted it to be the safe, quiet refuge for Brooklyn’s families that it was intended to be,” de Blasio said. “Restoring Prospect Park as a car-free oasis will improve the lives of the millions who use this park today and of generations to come.”

Vehicles used for maintenance, public safety and emergency services will still be able to use the park’s road ways.
