Brooklyn’s Linden Houses came to life on Saturday, August 2, 2025, when residents and neighbors gathered for a day of music, laughing, and friendship.
In partnership with C+C Apartment Management, the Linden Houses Resident Association held a Family Day celebration in the heart of East New York. In an effort to strengthen neighborhood ties and take advantage of the summertime sunshine, hundreds of people attended the event.

From sunrise to sunset, Linden Houses’ open spaces were bustling with activity. While some children risked a steep rock-climbing wall, others joyously bounced in a colorful inflatable bouncy house. Residents enjoyed delicious cuisine from local vendors, chatted with friends and neighbors, and danced to upbeat music.
In addition, the Mayor’s NeighborhoodStat initiative took part in the festivities by offering kid-friendly activities and family resources. With the goal of increasing community safety and involvement, the program gave young participants a chance to learn while having fun.
Council Member Chris Banks Shows Support
During the celebrations, City Council Member Chris Banks made a special visit to present a $3,500 check from his discretionary fund to the Linden Houses Resident Association. In order to ensure the sustainability of events like Family Day, the funds will be utilized to support the association’s ongoing projects and operations.
Banks praised the Resident Association’s dedication, pointing out that these kinds of events strengthen, secure, and unite communities.

Many residents consider Family Day to be more than just an annual occasion. Neighbors can gather, children can play freely, and families can enjoy their neighborhood pride.

As the sun dropped over East New York, the sounds of laughter and music faded. As a reminder of the community’s capacity to bring people together, the ties of solidarity formed during Linden Houses Family Day endured.
