Wingate Park
Description
This Brooklyn park is situated near neighborhoods that raised The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and many more—so it’s no surprise that it’s become a central spot for hip-hop performances through the years. Artists who’ve graced the park’s summer stage include Doug E. Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Special Ed and Mase.
