Pop-Up Audubon Play and Go

Join Prospect Park Alliance on the outdoor terrace of the Audubon Center every Thursday and Friday this summer for Pop-Up Audubon Play + Go! 

Pick up to five (5) items to mix and match nature games and activities, as well as a birdwatching checklist with binoculars and much more.

While you are here, you can participate in our new Nature’s Helpers activities by lending a hand and participating in stewardship activities such as raking, litter patrol or mulching, and afterwards take a fun Family Discovery Walk and explore the natural wonders of the park or search for the many historic elements that are scattered all around us.

Families, children and care givers can enjoy nature as they explore and learn more about the park.

Pop-Up Audubon is made possible through the generous support of Con Edison.
