'Paint By The Pond' At Warinaco Park

ELIZABETH, NJ — Youngsters ages 4 to 12 years old are invited to participate in “Paint by the Pond" on Saturday at the pond in Warinanco Park.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and allows children to paint cardboard model houses and create art on poster board.

The “Paint by the Pond” project will teach families about the importance of recycling while encouraging children to paint on cardboard, creating art from materials usually thrown away.

“Last year’s ‘Paint by the Pond' was a tremendous success,” said Union County Freeholder Angel G. Estrada. “This year we will be back at the pond at Warinanco Park for young artists to capture the glorious colors of autumn.”

For more information on this event, call the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation at 908-527-4900.
