🎃🛼 2nd Annual Halloween Skate Party (Claremont Village / Mt. Hope)
As a mobile skate vendor, we proudly brought 2025 to a close with our finale event inside the P.S. 186 school gym, right in the heart of the Claremont Village / Mt. Hope section of the Boogie Down Bronx! 💙
This year’s celebration was more than just a skate party — it was a moment of gratitude, community, and connection. From the laughter of kids lacing skates up for the first time to the joy shared between families, officers, and volunteers, the energy reminded us that movement truly brings people together.
We’re thankful for every smile and every partnership that continues to make these moments possible. Here’s to rolling forward with purpose, passion, and community in 2026! 🛼✨
A special thank you to NYPD 42nd Precinct and The NYPD Explorers for joining us in making this night one to remember. 💛
We also want to give a shout out to @cprfcharity for your support.

Our explorers took steps for a cause that matters 💕 Walking strong in Crotona Park to raise awareness and show support for all those impacted by breast cancer. #BreastCancerAwareness #42Explorers #CommunityStrong
A Time was had on this wonderful day. Partnerships/Collaborations are wonderful, especially when it truly serves a Community with hours of Fun. We are Thankful for being able to partner with @nypd42explorers and be able to provide the youth with something different. Imagine this… The last Standing Rink to close in The Bronx was in 2006. #Skatekey We had nothing in its place and as it seems, nothing in the foreseeable future. So… Skate Info Network provides a way for Communities in Bronx to Roller Skate and find joy of skating.
Some of the youth shared stories of their experience with skates vs “this is the first time adventure”
Some were excited and of course, some were a bit nervous, and unbalanced.
Conversations were had, networking is what we do. And yes, more to come.
Our Summer Partnership for Campers and Non-Profits are in full swing and we are super excited. And we are building new connections in real time that will result in more events for The Bronx.
As we talked to Community Leaders, Coordinators and even Parents, all day… it was told how nice it is to have a different activity for the youth as opposed to the “Norm”.
All I can say is “We’re on a Roll!” and “Ain’t no Stopping Us Now!”
We would like to Thank @nypd42explorers for inviting us to join in for their “National Night Out”
The Community enjoyed themselves and were of course, asking when this will return, and where we will turn up next.
And as always… stay tuned for more announcements on upcoming community event.
Special Thanks to the Network Team for their selfless support as we supported the community with some fun time on wheels. Thanks @notnellz , @sk8swagnyc & @sk8mafiahighrollers 👍🏽🛼

Reflecting on the incredible impact of the June 14, 2025, NYPD Community Affairs Second Annual Cut & Brunch Father’s Day Celebration! Families from all walks of life came together to honor the fathers and father figures in our community—both those with us and those watching over us from above. It was a sight to see so many dads connecting, sharing stories, and embracing the joy of togetherness.
Our talented barbers brought their A-game with fresh fades, bold chops, and crisp cleanups, ensuring everyone left looking sharp and feeling great. But this event was about so much more than just haircuts; it was a celebration filled with meaningful conversations, delicious food, timeless music, and engaging activities for everyone!
Thank you again to all who joined us in making this day special! Let’s continue to uplift one another, because when we stand together, we are unstoppable!
