Your first question should be -What is Harmony Day at Van Cortlandt Park?.
The answer is that over 100 police officers from all over the Bronx come to the park to give a little joy to a couple of thousand children who are enrolled in various summer programs in the Bronx. As you will see by the photos below almost every commanding officer, and several officers from each Bronx police precinct and other community police officers do their best to show the children some courtesy, and a good time as the children enjoy various games and other fun while they get to take back not only the joy of the day, but some stuff they enjoy that has been donated to the event by local Bronx businesses.
Above - The Color Guard presents the flags.
Below - The Pledge of Allegiance is recited by the Commanding Officers on stage.
Above and Below - You can see some of the games or attractions, and some of the attendees.
Above - Some fellow officers wait to see how long it will take to dunk this officer.
Below - Now that he has been dunked, who's next to sit on the platform?
The rock climbing wall had many children trying to get to the top.
It was fun for the police officers, and fun for the children.
