This weekend, Prospect Park begins its 2006 season with lots of activities — and it sounds like Saturday is going to be a perfect day weather-wise.

Tomorrow is also the day when Park Slope feels like a small town. Opening day of the local little league season means Seventh Avenue is flooded with a huge parade of kids in their baseball finest — and families — on their way to the park to hear the politicians salute baseball in Brooklyn.

OPENING DAY: Prospect Park
begins its season for 2006: Prospect Park Little League Parade at 10
am, beginning at Seventh Avenue and Carroll Street; Spring Wash Day at
