As a friend of the Prospect Park Alliance, you are cordially invited to the world premiere
screening of The Olmsted Legacy, featuring the voices of Kevin Kline and Kerry Washington.

This one hour documentary, which features Prospect Park, examines the formation
of America’s first great city parks and the visionary role of Frederick Law Olmsted,
the urban planner and landscape architect responsible for so much of the great work
done in the late 19th century.

The premiere will take place in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, which is often described
as Olmsted’s grandest achievement. Various members of the production team and cast
will be in attendance.
