WProhibition Park, also called National Prohibition Park, was a temperance town and park used as a summer colony in the New York City borough of Staten Island, precursor to the modern Westerleigh neighborhood. The park and community were founded after the purchase of the land in 1887 by members of the National Prohibition Party during a temperance movement prior to Federal prohibition in the United States, with the specification that no consumption of alcohol would be permitted in the area. At its peak the park had extended nearly 150 acres, but declined in the 1900s along with the temperance movement, with much of the land sold to non-movement members. The remaining parkland was obtained by the City in 1907, surviving as Westerleigh Park and Northerleigh Park operated by the New York City Parks Department.
