Columbia Chinese YoYo Event

This is a wonderful event held at Prospect Park. Especially great for preschoolers, elementary age children.

Members of the Columbia Chinese Yo-yo Club will be performing and giving lessons. Please bring along your Diablo / Chinese Yo-yo or see below for instructions on purchasing a Taibolo, imported from Taiwan, from the club. These are lighter so they're great for kids just starting out.

Join other families to celebrate the coming of summer at the Prospect Park Carousel on Saturday, June 13th from 5:00PM - 8:00PM. We imagine a casual evening where families can come with their picnic baskets and blankets to relax on the lawn while the children enjoy the carousel. We'll have balls, hoola hoops and activities for both parents and kids to get to know one another, so come prepared to mingle.

Questions? Want to help? Contact Carol Tureski at CTureski@aol.com or 718-789-9431.

Located in the Park’s "Children’s Corner," the Carousel features 51 magnificently carved horses, a lion, a giraffe, a deer, and two dragon-pulled chariots. Carved in 1912 by Charles Carmel, one of the foremost carousel designers of the time, and restored by the Prospect Park Alliance in 1990, the Carousel promises that classic summertime amusement will be available for generations of fun. In addition, the Prospect Park Carousel is one of the few in the world that is wheelchair accessible.
