Many people look back fondly on recess, longing for those carefree moments of pure play, movement and laughter that offered a much-needed escape from the structured school day, and Perfect Day is officially bringing the experience back with Field Day: Recess for Adults. Set to be hosted in Brooklyn's Prospect Park on June 27th, this event from the community-driven wellness organization promises "a return to movement before it became a metric," complete with sack races, tug-of-war, relay races—and no performance tracking, no optimization agenda disguised as wellness, and no emphasis on intentional self-improvement, only fun and connection.
In between recess-inspired activities, adults can take a break in the recovery area, listen to music, and refresh with freshly farmed seasonal fruit from the snack stand.
