Boro Park Center Hosts Petting Zoo Event for the Community

The Boro Park Center held a large-scale community event earlier this week, continuing its tradition of engaging the Heimishe Brooklyn community with enriching activities.

The event was attended by thousands of Brooklyn families, reinforcing the Center’s reputation for offering top-tier care and entertainment for its residents, their families, and the community at large.

This past Sunday, the Boro Park Center brought in a petting zoo for local children and residents to enjoy. The event, which was open to the public, not just to residents' families, had the added bonus of being free of charge.

The event, held on a Sunday, was particularly well-timed, strategically chosen two days before Tisha B'Av. With kids home from day camps and mothers looking for ways to entertain them with fun and educational activities, the Boro Park Center provided the perfect solution.

The petting zoo featured a variety of animals that the children could feed and play with. In addition, there were horse and wagon rides, cool refreshments, a balloon artist, and gifts for all the children.

When asked about the initiative behind the event, a Boro Park Center Representative shared with Williamsburg365, "We wanted to give back to the community and offer the kids in Boro Park, Williamsburg, and beyond something enjoyable to do on a Sunday during the summer, and we couldn't have done it in a more exciting and fun-filled way, especially on this particular day".

The overwhelming and unexpected turnout, with local residents filling the sidewalks, underscored the community's appreciation for the event, evident in the smiles on everyone's faces. Given the massive success, plans are already in motion to expand the offerings for next year with even more activities on a much larger scale.

The Boro Park Center continues to set the standard for community involvement, as evidenced by the impressive turnout on Sunday. The local residents filled the sidewalks to participate in the event, with their appreciation reflected in the smiles on their faces.
