CLARK LINDEN CHICO

(b. JUNE 5, 2021, New York, NY)

Please join us to celebrate 

CLARK'S FIFTH BIRTHDAY

at The Yard adventure playground on Governor's Island

JUNE 6, 2026

from 10:00am at the Atlantic Ave/BBP Pier 6 ferry stop

to ~1:00pm on Governors Island

Please arrive at 10am at Atlantic Ave/BBP Pier 6. 

Free Governor's Island Ferry leaves at 10:15am!

We can't wait if you're late, but please do hop on the next Governor's Island Ferry at 11:15! The party will still be going when you arrive :)

PLEASE RSVP HERE

Please, NO GIFTS—but we would be so grateful if you could take many photos that include the birthday boy, and we can all share images after the party! See select photos from last year below.

NOTES ON PARTY STRUCTURE

A scooter may be helpful for the short walk from the ferry to The Yard.

Please sign your child's waiver in advance; low cell service there makes it difficult to do onsite.

Closed-toe shoes are required; dress your child in clothing that can get both wet and muddy, use layers for variable temperatures between ferry/Yard/party, and bring a change of clothing for afterward! 

The forecast is for sunny skies, but the party will take place rain or shine, so please plan accordingly—more details at The Yard's website.

We will set up undercover/in the shade at a picnic area nearby so that your child can easily locate you. Snacks, refreshments and—of course—birthday cake will be served for both children and adults, and there are clean bathrooms directly next to The Yard.

Adults are NOT allowed inside The Yard.

CHILDREN'S SCHEDULE

10:45: "Before" group photo

10:50–11:50: Private access to The Yard for birthday guests only

11:50: Leave The Yard for "After" group photo, then snacks and birthday cake nearby!

anytime after 12:00: Public access to The Yard — birthday guests can return or leave or whatever parents choose

ADULTS' SCHEDULE

10:45: Help to take "Before" photos of clean, excited kids together

10:50–11:50: Eat bagels and snacks and drink mimosas while kids play alone. This is meant to be a break for you, so please take it!

anytime after 12:00: Send kids back into The Yard and continue to hang child-free, take advantage of other fun on Governor's Island, or head home as you wish

INVITED GUESTS

All children in the Smith Street Brooklyn Heights Moyenne Section class are invited. For older siblings, please RSVP with children's names and ages if they're coming along; younger siblings can play (with an adult) in the family play area.

Don't forget to RSVP, and we can't wait to see you there!

Again, no gifts please, but we would be so grateful if you make an extra effort to take and share photos that include the birthday boy. Otherwise, your presence is always the best present.
