Nickelodeon's 'Day Of Play' Comes To Prospect Park With Slime Booth, 5K

PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN — Prospect Park is about to get slimey — and we aren't talking about the algae percolating in its many lakes.

Nickelodeon's "Worldwide Day of Play" is coming to the park on Sept. 16, bringing a host of activities to the "Nethermead" section.

Those activities include basketball, blow-up slides, a slime booth, picnic and a charity 5K hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters Of NYC. Proceeds will benefit the organization's youth mentoring programs.

The events all take place in Prospect Park's Nethermead, a section in the middle of the park that can be accessed by entering on Prospect Park Southwest and walking straight in.

The race follows much of the outer loop before ending up back there, where the rest of the activities will take place. Registration for the race begins at 7:45 a.m., and it gets underway at 8:45. The rest of the activities start around 10.
