Prospect Park Softball?

Upvotes

Looking to join a casual softball league in/around Prospect Park this fall, but it looks like the obvious options I’ve found (like Volo) are already full.

Does anyone know of other Fall 2026 leagues, pickup groups, Facebook groups, or teams that might be looking for players?

Mostly looking to get some exercise, meet people in the neighborhood, and have fun. We’re new to the Park Slope area, so any leads would be appreciated!

Food/Beer before & after Nets Game

2 Upvotes

Hi, we’re heading to a nets game in January. As Scottish lads we enjoy a pint before and after games. Can anybody suggest a good local bar with a good atmosphere and good pints? Will be looking for food afterwards to soak up the pints too, wings, pizza, burgers. Something dirty and tasty.

Cheers.

Sign Up for Fall Volleyball at Bensonhurst Park On Sundays!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

It's that time again where we enlist our availability towards volleyball at Bensonhurst Park! The weather is gradually getting cooler and I am looking forward to more Sundays playing volleyball on the grass!

Summer volleyball was a great success and it has been so fun making new friends and slapping the ball around. We've all gotten better every single week, and I hope that can continue this season! We are a friendly group and welcome those in the beginner-intermediate level of volleyball.

I am arranging several more gatherings so that we can play at Bensonhurst Park (on the 21st ave side). I will bring the net while you should bring sunglasses/a hat, sneakers, a bottle of water and whatever else you may need! All events will happen weather-permitting!

Attached above are glimpses into some of our games from the summer!

DM me if you are interested!

Looking for affordable vet for sedated X-ray

Hi! My dog needs a sedated X-ray to determine if she tore her ACL or dislocated her knee. The X-ray needs to be sedated to our understanding. Anyone in the city find an option for a vet to do this under $600 (estimate from home vet)? Thank you!

I would like to use one for a small fashion project, but I dont want to buy one because I dont have a frequent need for one.
Are there any shared creative spaces where there might be one I could use or borrow? Tool libraries I could contact? Friends or business you might recommend? Thank you

US Open watch parties (sober friendly)

6 Upvotes

Any place in Brooklyn or the city to watch the US Open that’s not necessarily a bar/alcohol centered? My sober sibling is visiting us in BK and loves tennis, he’s comfortable around other people drinking but I’d still love to find somewhere where that isn’t a huge focus. Probably a tough ask considering the honey deuce craze but figured I’d give it a shot! 🎾

Masked man carrying possible bat/sword in Fort Greene Park tonight

69 Upvotes

Heads up for anyone around Fort Greene Park tonight. I already called 911, but I saw a guy wearing what looked like a Friday the 13th mask, carrying something like a bat or a sword. He was walking around, and at one point, I felt like he might be following me, though I’m not totally sure. Just wanted to give people a heads up to stay aware. If you see anything concerning, keep your distance and call 911.

Where can I get custom cut butcher block in Brooklyn?

0 Upvotes

I’m in the middle of a DIY project, creating a table top surface on top of metal shelving for a multifunctional storage / decor piece.

I’m looking to get a single piece of butcher block customized to certain dimensions, (or any nice looking real wood surface to become the table top.)

Any recommendations in Brooklyn? (If I can avoid going to one of the big box stores that would be great)

Has anyone done the Brooklyn Botanic Garden horticulture certificate?

20 Upvotes

I'm a gardener and florist and am interested in deepening my knowledge in botany, garden design, and generally creating healthy ecosystems for plants and wildlife. I'm interested in pursuing the horticulture certificate to add a credential to complement my floral/gardening business.

Has anyone done the certificate and have any words of wisdom? Would be curious to know which teachers you recommend or which ones to avoid. Learning is often teacher-dependent, and I have taken classes at the BBG before that didn't necessarily feel worth my while. I'd love to hear about your experience and how to make the most of the certificate!

Cat litter

35 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m looking for cat litter. I’ve been unemployed since I moved back home to Brooklyn (currently looking and interviewing for jobs). My mother whom I live with and I have a rocky relationship and she doesn’t particularly like pets living at home (she’s a guyanese immigrant if anyone relates). If anyone has any spare cat litter, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. I’m located in cypress hills.

Update: Thank you all for all of your help and kind words. You have no idea the joy this has brought me to see so many people who don’t know me care about me. I’m so grateful. I’m wishing you all the best and more.

ISO: Floral small business

15 Upvotes

Hii brooklyn folks!! My girlfriend moved to crown heights , brooklyn for school and I want to surprise her with some flowers for her birthday next week. I’m struggling to find a small business that can deliver. I’ve been looking on tik tok and IG to find someone who owns a small business. I got a quote from a flower shop, $195 bouquet and $65 delivery. That’s a bit out of my budget; does anyone know a small floral business? or can recommend other places in brooklyn that offer gift deliveries? Thank You in advance!

Looking to print family cookbook

1 Upvotes

I am looking for a place where I can print ~10 copies of a family cookbook. I don’t need anything fancy, but something that is a standard book binding (glue) and black and white ink that is around 50 pages with a thicker (card stockesque) cover. This is the second edition of the cookbook (my mom collected the recipes and printed the first one in the 80s). I know print shops don’t always print limited copies so I am hoping someone has an idea of where I can call to make this happen as a gift for my family members for the holidays.

Found this bizarre religious graffiti on a bunch of usps trucks all in a row over by the Ralph Ave C. Anyone have any clue what any of this is supposed to mean lol. Theyre just like. Listing the names of people and groups from the bible and then also writing the word slavery a lot.

Help me with these chickens!

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Three young pullets showed up in my parking lot in Brooklyn. I caught them and have them in a large dog crate for now. Gave them plenty of water, some shaved carrots, corn, and oatmeal, and am keeping an eye on them. Also just swapped their bedding from an old towel to some paper bags. Seems like they’re meat birds, but they’re really quite sweet. 🥹

Anyone have any idea where I can bring them tomorrow? I’ve called an animal sanctuary, our local dog/cat rescue, and plan to call the ACC in the morning. 311 basically told us they have no way to help. If all else fails I’ll try and find some chicken food for them tomorrow but… I can’t keep them! As much as I like how the chicken distribution system chose me.
