Have family fun painting, hiding and searching for rocks in the Bronx

Search for rocks, paint a few, and enjoy family games at Virginia Park, now to Oct. 20.

Join the rock hunts where members are encouraged to re-hide rocks, and search for them. The purpose of the rock hunting group is to encourage families to unplug, explore their borough, and meet members of the community. There will also be chances for members of the community to paint their rocks together every Friday from 6 pm to 8 pm in Virginia Park, as part of Game Night — hosted by artist Lovie Pignata. Also, jump Double Dutch, play games and get to know your neighbors.
