DETAILS:                       NYC Parks, in partnership with Senator Jesse Hamilton, announces its first ever borough Senior Olympics, which will take place in May of 2016. As part of this programming, each month a different recreation center in the borough will host free weekly meet-ups revolving around one particular sport or activity such as basketball, swimming, and track and field. These will be a mix of intramural meets, trials, and practice sessions to sharpen minds, skills and bodies. First day of each monthly meet-up will not require a recreation center membership, but will be limited to members after that. Official registration for the Senior Olympics will begin in March 2016.
