Family Day
Date: June 2, 2012
NYRP invites families to enjoy a day of fun in nature at Description: Swindler Cove Park every year. See and touch live animals. Stick your hands in healthy, organic soil. Step into the Harlem River. Hike up a 200 foot hill. Take a plant home. Bring your family to explore the nature in your neighborhood!
People from all over New York City are welcomed to engage in nature in this day-long, free event that celebrates family.
Nestled in Manhattan's Upper East Side, Swindler Cove Park represents the crown jewel of NYRP's public park projects, encompassing five beautifully reclaimed acres along the Harlem River – including the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse and Riley-Levin Children's Garden. An oasis of native natural habitats, Swindler Cove features an urban forest, the only saltwater marsh on the island of Manhattan's shoreline and an abundance of wildlife to explore and experience along the Harlem Riverfront.
NYRP staff and educators lead families in playing games, taking hands-on hikes, painting birdhouses, creating family nature projects, taking family nature portraits, meeting live animals, gardening and learning about ways to be green, together.
