About this event
NYC Parks and Council Member Amanda Farias fill Soundview Park with festive games, pumpkin picking and pumpkin decorating for four hours. The park sits where the Bronx River meets the East River, so there is a lot of open ground and water to walk off the sugar afterwards.

Free pumpkin picking and decorating — the thing families actually pay for elsewhere in October.
