WBO's Urban Parks Rangers Programming

On November 15, 2008 the City of New York Parks & Recreation's Urban Parks Ranger's Program brought a delightful program to The Williamsbridge Oval Afterschool Program. The children participated in learning about the trees that beautify our parks in the Bronx. Our Parks Rangers brought new and exciting games for the children to create and showed them how to take a tree bark and make it whistle. These are just some of the many programming that our children participate in during their time spent here in the Williamsbridge Oval Afterschool Program.
