all -- you'll receive a coupon to redeem for a Cyclones baseball cap -- and if you are one of the first 3,000 attendees, you'll also receive a Cyclones replica jersey.
So come on out for a great night at the ballpark and support Prospect Park! Purchase tickets* >

Smart Tap
Thanks to a generous donation from Smart Tap, the Prospect Park Alliance is pleased to announce that six Smart Tap bottle filling stations are coming to Prospect Park this summer at the following locations:
- 6th Street and West Drive
- Near Field 1 in the Long Meadow Ballfields
- The Nethermead near Center Drive
- Along the East Drive, across from the Peristyle
- Near Field 6 at the Parade Ground
- At the Center Drive and East Drive intersection
Smart Taps are bottle filling stations with drinking water fountains, replacing the current drinking fountains at those locations. The bottle filling stations encourage park users to carry reusable bottles and reduce the consumption of plastic water bottles and trash in the Park.
The first one was installed in the Nethermead in time for Tropfest and was enormously popular!
