The City of New York Parks & Recreation Department has announced that effective May 27, 2008, no metal detecting will be allowed at the following parks, both located in Brooklyn, New York:
1) Prospect Park
2) Owl's Head Park
The use of a metal detector at either of these parks may result in the revocation of your NYC metal detecting permit and a summons for unauthorized possession of a metal detector at a disallowed park. Prospect park has for years been a favorite of many detectorist, and not all may be aware of this recent change.
The notice is unclear as to why these two parks are now being excluded, but questions can be directed to Oneika Myers of the Urban Park Service, at (212) 360-2779.
It is important that such regulations be respected, since violations could move the NYC Park Service to further restrict our ability to detect at other large parks found within the New York City metropolitan area.
