“Rivalry in the Park!” Rivalry Day & Saturday in the Park
On Saturday, October 10, we welcome Friends School to campus for our 10th Annual Rivalry Day competition!
We are also hosting Saturday in the Park! 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. This longtime tradition is fun for the whole family!
About Rivalry Day
The terms of Rivalry Day are simple: we play a lineup of games with our longstanding rivals, Friends School, keep track of the outcomes, and the school with the better record claims bragging rights until the next Rivalry Day. The Bruins lead the Rivalry Day series, 7-2, with four vict’ries in a row including a big win on the Friends campus last year. This year, we need your support to help us “Defend the Den!” and keep the Rivalry Cup!
The greatest outcome of this annual event is seeing students from Pre-K–12, parents, employees, and alumni contributing to the wonderful spirit of this cross-community event with Friends School. From our Lower School fans cheering on the sidelines, to our energetic mascot — our entire community helps make the day a success.
Bruno the Bruin 🐻 will be there, rain or shine!

Join us for one of Park’s favorite fall traditions!
Saturday in the Park is a fun, community-wide family event open to everyone. Come spend the afternoon with friends — old and new — and enjoy bouncy houses, face painting, crafts, a scavenger hunt, sports games, and more!
It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet other Park families, connect with the community, and kick off the school year together.
Come hungry! A variety of food trucks will be on hand with delicious options available for purchase, including Travelin’ Tom’s Mobile Coffee Truck, Greek on the Street Food Truck, Kooper’s Chowhound Burger Wagon, Mr. Soft, pizza, cotton candy, and drinks from our student groups! Some food trucks will also offer advance ordering, and we’ll share those details as we get closer to the event.
*** Parent Volunteers are crucial to the success of Saturday in the Park! Please let us know if you can volunteer for a 30 minute shift. Click HERE to sign up, and thank you for your help! ***
Let’s Get Together! And Let’s Beat Friends!
