Spend the Labor Day Holiday Getting Close to Nature in Prospect Park

Still haven’t made plans for the Labor Day holiday? The Prospect Park Alliance is hosting a day of family-friendly activities so you can say goodbye to the summer season while reveling in the great outdoors.

Head to Lefferts Historic House for Caribbean Tales in honor of the West Indian Day Parade. Storyteller Tammy Hall will weave tales at 2 and 3 p.m. For some nature-themed activities check out the Audubon Center from 12 to 4 p.m., where you can enjoy bird walks, animal encounters and other exploration fun.

If you want to put a little actual labor into your holiday you can join other nature lovers as they work to beautify two areas in the park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Prospect Park Alliance has been hosting volunteer workdays every Monday over the summer and they continue through September 30. Volunteers pitch in with a variety of activities from trash pickup to raking.

All events take place on Monday, September 2 in Prospect Park. To get all the time and location details visit the event page here.
