Really beautiful memorial at the main entrance or Prospect Park, like a smaller version of Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The parks department used to open it up to the public once in a while, and you could climb inside to the top, but I am not sure that that happens anymore. I have heard that all major monuments in the US have barrels of crackers and water in them, but I am pretty sure that is an urban legend.
I spent the morning walking through Prospect Park and exited to see the archives. It is a great landmark and across from the library, which has art of its own around the door.
The park was filled with the homeless and some people clearly on drugs. Would avoid this park.
It's a nice arch but the arch was under renovation when I was there. I would have liked to see it without the construction equipment.
