There will be an extra special snow day on Saturday in Riverside Park.
Starting at noon, the parks department will hold a special event in Riverside Park at 103rd Street, with sleds and other activities. There’s also the possibility of free hot chocolate, says NYC Parks.
“As the snow falls, NYC Parks is at the ready with winter fun! During times of heavy snowfall, NYC Parks may offer a snow day, which is a day of free organized recreation in several parks throughout the city. Activities may include supervised safe sledding (there will be sleds available at each snow day site), snowman building contests, best snow angel contests, friendly snowball fights, music, and complimentary hot chocolate.”
