If you go to your local park today, the odds are you will find something special going on. That’s because it’s “It’s My Park Day!” citywide. We can’t possibly highlight them all, but were’ going to pull a few from the inbox. (Check out Prospect Park’s activities, which we posted about earlier in the week, here.) The Park Slope Playground, which is between between 5th & 6th Avenues and Lincoln Pl. & Berkeley Place is having music, games and art from 10AM-2PM on a day billed as “a family day to celebrate the basketball courts, squeaky swings, slippery slides of Brooklyn’s Park Slope Playground.” There’s a full schedule of performances and activities:

“It’s My Park!” Day kicks off with a performance by The County Kings, whose infectious fusion of folk rock, celtic and country music will get the neighborhood up and dancing. Experienced coaches offer kids age 15 and under a chance to brush up on their basketball skills, including 3-on-3 drills, passing, shooting and dribbling. Don’t miss the raffl e of discounts and free swag from local shops and restaurants. And gratis packs of sidewalk chalk will bring out the Michelangelo in kids, who are invited to decorate the playground’s blacktop. The event also marks the introduction of the playground into the city’s pilot recycling program, so green-themed events round out the day, with composting demos and easy, on-the-spot collection of cell phones, batteries and crayons for recycling

There’s “a day of learning, fun, games, music and action at The Old Stone House in JJ Bryne Park” and an “It’s My Park Day Eco Fair” today that runs from 11AM-4PM.

Sunset Park is featuring activities from 10AM-3PM in the Children’s Native Plants Garden between the swings + Comfort Station. The Friends of Sunset Park email that “We’ll be weeding, raking, planting and reconnecting with each other after hibernating all winter long. All ages welcome!!”
