Walk through Prospect Park the way locals do—from hidden arches and favorite breakfast spots to quiet corners, cherry blossoms, and Brooklyn’s biggest backyard.
How it works
Pick a short route by neighborhood, mood, distance, or the hour you have open.
Save the map, audio, stops, and notes so the walk still works when signal gets thin.
Follow the route, pause for a detour, and come back to the story when you are ready.
Why Untourist
Untourist gives you enough structure to start moving and enough permission to follow your curiosity. It is built for people who like context, not crowds.
Use GPS nudges when you want direction, then wander when a side street or park path pulls you off-course.
Hear the context near the stop, when the building, path, memorial, or corner is right in front of you.
Take a complete neighborhood walk before dinner, between plans, or during an unexpectedly free morning.
