Why make time for it

Build a Saturday park outing around an hour of storytelling. The Conservancy’s session runs from 15:00 to 16:00 on 26 September at the 102nd Street Field House, rather than at the park’s southern end.

Entry is free and seats are unreserved, first come, first served. Heavy rain cancels the event. Check the organiser’s weather update two hours before setting out.
