There is no charge for this event! But we do ask that you bring or cook your favorite dish to share with other attendees. A CORE volunteer will contact you to coordinate the assignment of food. Friends and family and little children are all invited. Bring your bike, fly your kite, rollerblade down freedom way, bring a volleyball or a frisbee, play some catch or throw a football. Bring your Mommy and your Daddy, your Lola and your Lolo, bring your kids and bring your doggie...and join us for a relaxing, fun time at the park!

There will also be games and activities for everyone. We will coordinate team competitions for the adults and arts/crafts for the children. You may form your own team or join someone else’s. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the day!

To RSVP, volunteer as a coordinator or ask questions, please contact Venessa Manzano, Vice Chair of Programs, at vmanzano@core-nyc.org.
