The kids of East Harlem in New York have something to look forward to this summer.
The NYC Strategic Alliance for Health, the Harvest Home Farmer’s Market and Transportation Alternatives plan to open up a new playground in Harlem on the East Side. The goal is to give kids in that area access to fun physical activities and educational programs (arts, health, nutrition, for example) during the summer. The PlayStreet is going to be located on E. 104th St between 2nd and 3rd avenue. The NYC Strategic Alliance for Health is being sponsored by many great organizations, including Union Settlement, NYC YMCA, Communities IMPACT Diabetes, New York Road Runners, and Grow NYC! However, they still need all the help they can get.
They are inviting you to the upcoming meeting taking place Wednesday, June 16th at 10 am, where you can give programming suggestions, develop a schedule activity, and go over the details of PlayStreet. The meeting will be located at the Union Settlement Association on 237 East 104th Street. To confirm your attendance please email garroyo@health.nyc.gov. We hope to see you there.
Here at WOYP? we think that this is a great opportunity to help kids grow and have fun in a productive way. We can’t wait to see the results.
