Van Cortlandt Park

We connect children with nature to encourage active exploration of the natural world.  Children who spend time outdoors develop strong imaginations and learn to socialize better with others.   Urban Park Rangers are role models who encourage children to let their imaginations run wild in a safe, supportive atmosphere.  

While most of our programs are family friendly, the programs highlighted here are specifically for young children and families.  Whether enjoying a family friendly movie under the stars, freeing your imagination playing in nature, or learning about conservation through eco-crafts, a free Ranger program is the perfect addition to your family’s week.  All supplies provided.
