The Children's Map of Brooklyn's Backyard -

$45

Celebrate the spirit of discovery and imagination with this special design, featuring a map created over the last decade by our teachers and students.

Designed by former teacher and current BK Natur(ed) board member Christy Zolty, this map is a living document that merges established public park landmarks, like "The Picnic House" and "The Vale of Cashmere," with new landmarks imagined by our students during their park adventures. These student-created features—such as the ā€œFire Engineā€ and ā€œMagic Tree Houseā€ā€”reflect the joy and creativity of children who have connected with the park in their own unique way through our classes. Together, this map serves as a living artifact, showcasing the deep bond between our students and this cherished space.

By purchasing this design, you are not only supporting our programming but also preserving a piece of shared history that celebrates the students and teachers who have shaped our community of learners, leaders, and explorers.

This is more than just a map of Prospect Park—it’s a reflection of our collective journey, where each landmark tells a story of discovery, growth, and connection.
