    Compound prepositions are prepositions which have been modified by adding a noun, an adjective or a verb after it. For example: inside, within, without, etc.

    In this sentence, there is no compound preposition, but there is a simple preposition followed by a noun phrase and preceded by a gerund.

    Central Park is extremely popular, owing to its many recreation areas.

    There is no compound preposition in the sentence seeing as compound prepositions are formed by prefixing the preposition to a noun, an adjective or an adverb.
