Paddles and Foils

We have many signs of spring and the coming warm weather in the park. First the rink goes, the grass appears, and the flower bulbs bloom. And then, as the temperatures rise, all of our activities return to the park. We've already told you that Juggling, Chess, and The Reading Room got early starts this year. And now it's time to welcome back Ping Pong and Fencing.

After undergoing a renovation to give spectators more room to move about the area, The Tables will reopen on Monday. The area will be staffed daily from 11am-7pm with equipment provided to allow you to stop by anytime for a fun and free ping pong match. 

And beginning on Tuesday, we'll be offering another round of free Fencing lessons in partnership with Manhattan Fencing Center. If you're interested in learning to hold a foil, or see through a fencing mask, then call MFC to sign up at (212) 382-2255.  Pre-registration is required, but you're always welcome to take a chance and drop by The Library Terrace at 1pm on Tuesdays.
