About Opening Day

Opening Day is Team Walker’s annual Summer Kickoff — the day we open the doors on all of our summer programming and gather the whole community for an afternoon at the park. This year is extra special as we celebrate 30 years of empowering Jersey City youth through Dedication, Determination, and Discipline.

What to expect

Fun for the whole family. Music, food, games, kids’ activities, and a chance to meet our coaches, teachers, and program staff for the summer. Bring the family, bring the neighbors, and bring friends — this one’s free.

Vendors welcome
