Governors Island Blog

Bring your kids down to Picnic Point this afternoon for a day of fun in the sun. Manhattan Youth will be teaching kids the art of flying a kite. The stellar views and constant breeze are sure to make for some fancy flying. And if kites aren’t your thing, then pick up a stick of multi-colored chalk  and practice your drawing skills! There will be chalk provided and tons of pavement to use as a canvas. After flying kites and drawing in chalk it will be time to play some parachute games. Everyone will stand in a circle waving a parachute up and down. There is more to this game, but you’ll have to come out here to find out!

So if you’re looking for a fun Friday activity, why not come out to Governors Island?
