EcoBall: Go Green, Play Ball
Where Sports Meet Sustainability in the Bronx
Bridge Play Foundation is proud to present EcoBall: Go Green, Play Ball, an exciting new initiative that blends environmental education with recreational fun! This summer series is made possible through generous support from the City Parks Foundation and Partnerships for Parks via the NYC Green Fund.
At the heart of EcoBall is a powerful idea: the same green spaces where our youth and families play ball can also be spaces where we learn to take care of the planet.
Upcoming Dates:
June 26 – Workshop + Kickball at Macombs Dam Park
July 12 – EcoBall Game Celebration at Pelham Bay Park
July 17 – Workshop + Wiffleball at Franz Sigel Park

What is it?
EcoBall is a hands-on compost and soil education series designed for youth, parents, and community members across the Bronx.
Through workshops, field days, and friendly games, we explore topics like composting, climate change, tree stewardship, and how to care for the parks we call home.
Where is it?
EcoBall events will take place throughout Macombs Dam Park, Pelham Bay Park, and Franz Siegel Park—all located in designated environmental justice communities in the Bronx.

Why it Matters?
Many of our participants use NYC parks daily, but few have access to environmental education. EcoBall empowers them to be caretakers of their green spaces while having fun, staying active, and learning alongside peers and family.
We believe that play and learning should go hand in hand—and that when we “get dirty for our green spaces,” we’re building a cleaner, stronger, and more united community.
Teamwork
We can’t do it alone. EcoBall is powered by collaboration, and we are deeply grateful to the partners who stand beside us.
Special thanks to
The Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis) – for leading the way in environmental education and justice.
City Parks Foundation & Partnerships for Parks – for funding this vital work through the NYC Green Fund
Together, we’re building a future where play and planet go hand in hand.
