Join NYC Parks on Saturday, June 17, to support Adventures NYC -- an annual community event to celebrate the great outdoors and welcome New Yorkers to enjoy a day of adventure in Central Park! This FREE community event will offer activities including rock climbing, archery, stand-up paddleboarding, an adventure obstacle course, food, music, and more!
Volunteers play a crucial role in making this event a success by helping to greet and direct participants, register families for activities, and assist with setup and breakdown. All volunteers will receive a complimentary lunch and a rotational lunch break, as well as a thank-you swag gift from NYC Parks!
All volunteer participants must register at http://AdventuresNYC2023.eventbrite.com.
