About this Event
Family Picnic & Field Day NYC
Spend a Saturday outdoors at Family Picnic & Field Day NYC, a three-hour family experience filled with classic games, creative activities, music, food, and plenty of room to relax.
Families will enjoy a rotating lineup of friendly team competitions including tug-of-war, relay races, sack races, ball challenges, and supervised water games. Activities are designed so children, parents, siblings, and grandparents can participate at their own comfort level.
