After the team’s practice is complete, Brooklyn Nets players will recognize deserving children from the Nets’ community partner organizations to gift their jerseys. Throughout the event, fans can snack from various local food trucks, partake in merch giveaways and interactive photo opportunities, including a station where fans can pose in a Nets press conference setup and enter to win a year’s supply of BioSteel. The Nets have also provided the event with an on-site barber. The Nets have spent the last 10 years as Brooklyn’s team and have made efforts towards bringing the community together, and their Practice in the Park is yet another way for fans to celebrate the team and spectate the oncoming season.
