Wednesday’s in Teardrop Park

October 23, 2018 by Denise Courter

 

Wednesday’s in Teardrop Park

Wednesday’s in Teardrop Park! This is an afternoon of fun for school-age children to join in creative art activities and spirited games in Teardrop Park every Wednesday. Artists of all ages and abilities are welcome! Come enjoy the beautiful outdoor weather while completing paintings, collages, sculptures, and art projects inspired by nature! The art portion occurs during the entire duration of the program, for children who prefer this over running around!

After testing their creativity, let the lawn games begin! Starting at 4:30 children will take advantage of the Teardrop Park landscape through a number of group games. These will cater to children with an array of interests with games ranging from but not limited to dramatic play to tag and capture the flag.

Your children will come home to you with a wonderful art project and tired out from an afternoon filled with fun!

Teardrop Park is a 1.8-acre public park in lower Manhattan with shade, an irregular space, and beautiful gardens to coordinated with the development of four surrounding apartment buildings. Being that children are the most important users of Teardrop, the park is designed to fulfill the need for urban children’s natural experience. This quaint little getaway offers adventure and engages the child’s mind and body. 

Date: Wednesday, October 24th

Time: 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Location: Teardrop Park (East of River Terrace; between Warren and Murray Streets)

Ages: 5 and up!

Fee: Free

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
