Ice Cream, You Scream: An Old-Fashioned Day of Fun
What goes better with a hot summer day than the cold taste of a delicious ice cream treat! On Sunday, August 4, 2019, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., take the family to Bamboo Brook OEC in Chester Township to enjoy an old-fashioned summer day filled with games, such as hoops and sticks, croquet, a yo-yo contest, and more. Watch the duck races as entries float through the site’s water features among historic gardens. Bring your camera along for a scenic guided tour. Plan on relaxing? Take your favorite lawn chair and blanket, and even a picnic basket, and enjoy an ice cream treat.

So travel back in time to see these gardens in their full summer glory. Cost is $8 per person. Preregistration is required. To register, visit morrisparks.net or call 973-326-7601.
