To accommodate an uptick in visitors, Green-Wood Cemetery opens more gates on weekdays
Brooklynites seeking relief from the isolation and lack of exercise brought about by the novel coronavirus pandemic have been heading to the 478-acre Green-Wood Cemetery for quiet, socially-distanced walks filled with art, history and nature.
In response to the increase in weekday visitors, the cemetery has adjusted the open hours for its gates. Green-Wood now will open its Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Park West entrances — usually open to the public only on weekends — seven days a week. The new hours are as follows:
– Main Entrance (Fifth Avenue and 25th Street) will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Sunset Park Entrance (Fourth Avenue and 35th Street) will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Fort Hamilton Parkway Entrance (Fort Hamilton Parkway and Micieli Place) and Prospect Park West Entrance (Prospect Park West and 20th Street) will each be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
