Have you ever wanted to learn the great game of Chess but found it too hard to play or even boring? Join us for the first ever Human Chess event, presented by The New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and Riverside Park Fund. You will role play as chess pieces in a strategic group-oriented game. Teams of 8* or 16 needed. This activity is suitable for all ages and ability levels. Participants must wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Please email zhen.heinemann@nyc.parks.gov or call 212.408.0219 to sign up.
*Groups of 8 will use objects in place of Human Pawns.
