It's My Park Day is Saturday!

On Saturday, head to your favorite local park for It's My Park Day! Public space for kids and adults alike to relax and play in is precious, and the parks need to be taken care of.

Twice a year, New Yorkers team up with Partnership for Parks on these special days.

This is a great way to meet your neighbors, too!
