Pedal Boat season on the lake in Prospect Park is almost upon us. The start of the season is Sunday, May 4, and pedal boats can be had from 12 Noon-6PM from Thursday through Sunday and on holidays. The rental location is the Wollman Rink and the cost is $15 (plus tax) for a one-hour rental. Also, there’s a $10 refundable deposit. Per our email: “Cruise Brooklyn’s only freshwater Lake in a pedal boat – it’s so much fun, you won’t even notice you’re getting exercise! Rentals at Wollman Rink, near the Parkside and Ocean Ave. entrance. Free parking. Pedal Boat season runs through mid-October.”

UPDATE: Because of the spectacularly nice weather, the Pedal Boats have started early. They’re now open!!!
