The boys and girls from the Brookline Recreation Center, under the guidance of Director Jarrod Herschk and staff members Mark Mellix and Juwan Ledbetter, won the 2019 Citiparks Field Day Games. This was the 4th annual contest, pitting summer campers from all of the city recreation centers in a variety of team and individual activities, like broad jump, football and softball throws, sprints, tug-of-war and other games.

The Brookline kids took the vast majority of individual awards and racked up an outstanding grand total of over 300 points to take the team trophy. The second place team finisher was the Jefferson Recreation Center with 115 points followed by the Ormsby Recreation Center with 105 points. After the games the champions were treated to an afternoon of swimming at the pool.
