Photo Flash: Snow Day Fun at Crotona Park in the Bronx

On Saturday, February 8th, kids from each of the five boroughs took to the parks for fun, free snowy activities hosted by NYC Parks & Recreation. The Bronx's Crotona Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Manhattan's Riverside Park, Queens' Juniper Valley Park, and Staten's Island's Clove Lakes Park all hosted free outdoor recreation and winter fun - including friendly snowball fights, sledding, make-a-snowman and snow angel contests, and music. Scroll below for photos from the festivities at Crotona Park in the Bronx!

Parks recreation staffers coordinated the day, serving more than 3,550 cups of hot chocolate and providing sleds for those looking to hit the slopes.

The Recreation division manages 35 recreation centers that have various amenities including; indoor pools, weight rooms, gymnasiums, indoor tracks, dance studios, art studios, game rooms and computer classrooms.
