ELECTRONICS AND BICYCLES ETCHED FOR FREE TO PREVENT THEFT


                               Free Bicycle and Electronics Etching
                    Friday, October 7th, 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Get your bicycle and electronics etched for free
through Operation Identification, one of the New York City Police Department's crime prevention programs.

Officers from the 72nd Precinct will do the etching at Holy Name Church on Friday, October 7th, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Operation Identification involves (1) engraving an identifiable serial number with the letters "N.Y.C." on all of the portable valuables that you bring with you and (2) registering that serial number and the owner's name and address with the police department.


Bring your cell phones, tablets, MP3 players, computers, laptop video game systems, GPS systems, stereo equipment, fax machines, copiers, etc. for etching.

The benefits of participation in Operation Identification are
  • Special New York City Police Department decals are issued to affix to your windows. They alert potential burglars that the property in your home has been registered with Operation I.D.
  • Marked property is more difficult for a burglar to sell.
  • Stolen property that's found in the possession of a burglar can easily be traced to its rightful owner.
  • Property that is found can easily be identified and returned to its rightful owner.

PUPPET SHOW FREE: PUSS IN BOOTS


Puss in Boots: A Free Puppet Show
Tuesday, September 27th, 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Cityparks Puppetmobile will present a free performance of "Puss in Boots" at Greenwood Playground at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27th.

The traveling show of professional puppeteers will offer
the classic Puss in Boots tale, with a twist.

Once upon a time there lived a young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials in life – a roof over his head, the clothes on his back, and his ever faithful pet cat.

One day when lamenting his poor lifestyle, Fergus is astounded when his cat stands up, begins talking and introduces himself as Puss. Puss reveals to Fergus that he is very intelligent and well traveled, and even has an idea to help Fergus improve his situation.

With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy pair of boots and sets off on an exciting magical journey. Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!
All Friends of Greenwood Playground's events are free to the public.

A MOBILE APP FOR PROSPECT PARK



The first mobile app for Prospect Park has been launched. It's for iPhone, but it will be available for Android soon. The Prospect Park Alliance created the app to help parkgoers navigate the park more easily, discover its many attractions, and expand their knowledge of the park's history, wildlife, and nature.

The app is focused on an interactive map designed to help parkgoers enjoy the park’s 585 acres. A number of categories of destinations are featured, such as family-friendly fun, historic monuments and sites, recreation, natural areas, and places to enjoy with dogs.


In addition, the park can be grouped into regions. An activity log tracks how much of the park you've explored and the distance you've covered.

A "Learn + Explore" section includes fun, interactive games and challenges that test your knowledge of park history, nature and trivia, as well as exploration of the park. Earn badges and prizes as you complete challenges and learn more about the park.

The app also keeps you up-to-date on all the latest park news and events, how to get involved as a member or volunteer with the Prospect Park Alliance, and general park information, including hours, directions, event venues, and permits.

The Prospect Park app is available in the iTunes store to download for free. Its size is 46.9 MB. The app requires iOS 8.0 or later. It's compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
