F.L. Olmstead's PlanFrederick Law Olmstead (the designer of Central, Prospect and other NY area parks)wrote a report in 1871 that, among other things suggested a network of parkways through areas of Brooklyn and Queens that are now part of NYC. What is now Ocean Parkway and Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn was part of that plan. Ocean Parkway was to begin at the Parade Grounds at the south of Prospect Park, and run south to the shoreline beaches. Eastern Parkway would start at the Northern end of the park and travel eastward, toward proposed parkland. The present Eastern Parkway ends near cemetery lands. Olmstead's report was one of the earliest proposals for a Greater New York.
