Discover the Dongan Oak Monument: A Tribute to Brooklyn's Heritage

Getting There

• Subway

  If you are near a subway station, take the Q train toward Coney Island or the B train toward Brighton Beach. Depending on your starting point, you can board the train at various stations in Brooklyn. Alight at the Prospect Park station (Q) or the 7th Avenue station (B). From either station, you will have to walk to the Dongan Oak Monument.

• Walking

  From the Prospect Park station, exit the station and head southeast on Flatbush Ave toward Empire Blvd. Continue down Flatbush Ave until you reach the park entrance. Once inside Prospect Park, head towards East Drive. The Dongan Oak Monument is located at 41 East Dr, which is a short walk from the park's main pathways. If you are coming from the 7th Avenue station, exit the station and walk toward Prospect Park, entering through the eastern entrance and making your way to East Drive.

• Bus

  For those who prefer buses, check local bus routes that service Prospect Park. The B49 and B41 buses run nearby. Board the B49 bus at a local stop and ride to the nearest stop at Prospect Park. From there, it's a short walk to the Dongan Oak Monument along East Drive.

• Bike

  If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a bike from a local bike share program. There are several bike stations throughout Brooklyn. Once you have a bike, you can cycle through the park or along the streets to reach the Dongan Oak Monument. Make sure to follow bike lanes and park regulations.
