    We got one a couple of years ago at the carousel. I think they have them every year. The Boathouse might also have them, but I don't know.

    Check this website:
    http://www.greenswardparks.org/index.html

    I am not sure if they have their map on teh site, but the other day when I was walking home along PPW, I met this nice old man, bob, who is involved with Greensward. We walked for about 20 minutes and he told me alllll about Park Slope and his life story. He'd been here for 80+ years, even knew who used to live in my apartment.
    When we got to my place, turns out he lives 3 brownstones over so I popped over and he gave me a really nice map of Prospect Park. It said Greensward on it, so maybe they have it on their website, so far all I can find is a map of Central Park there, but I'm still looking.
    Bob is on the site, btw, he's the old man with the bowtie and the Yankees hat if you look in the "images" section.

    If you can't find the map there, the webiste is pretty cool in and of itself. I'm actually looking at it for the first time now. Cool images and history of the area.
