• Community Engagement Attending the Adult Recess Festival

    Buffaloe Rd Athletic Park 5900 Buffaloe Rd, Raleigh, NC

    Community Engagement will be attending Let's Get Social Raleigh's "Fourth Annual Adult Recess Festival." The Adult Recess Festival is a unique mental health and wellness festivals and people travel from across the country to experience it. As the first and only festival centered on adult play therapy and joy, it redefines play as essential to personal, civic, and communal care. Each year, public parks are transformed into adult-only playgrounds, reimagined as the backyard we once played in until the streetlights came on.
