Prospect Park was originally designed in 1903 by local landscape engineer Garnet Douglass Baltimore, the first African-American graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The park started to fall into disrepair in the 1950s and relatively little of Baltimore's work is still evident in the park today.
  The park today includes the following recreational areas: 14 tennis courts, 4 handball courts, 2 basketball courts, playground, picnic areas, soccer field, comfort station, picnic pavilion, spray pool, nature trail, and a roadway which surrounds the park with eight parking areas.
