Participants in the youth track program will develop skills in long jump, shot put, hurdles, discus, javelin, and running events, all held at local parks. The programs for golf, soccer and tennis will teach kids how to master the sport and have consistent practice over the summer. Every program emphasizes sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-confidence, supported by committed and experienced coaching.
“Each summer, CityParks Play helps bring our parks to life through free, high-quality sports instruction for thousands of youth throughout the five boroughs,” said Mike Silverman, Director of Sports at City Parks Foundation. “We’re excited to return with another season of programming that inspires active lifestyles, builds community, and makes summer lots of fun for kids across the city.”
