After a long day at work, there’s no better way to unplug and refresh than exercise. Even better? An outlet to energize your competitive side.
With summer in full swing, New York City’s parks have transformed into havens where city dwellers can do just that. On any given night you’re bound to see hundreds of adults sweating it out on the field and in the dirt. In honor of corporate summer league season beginning, we’ve rounded up a number of New York startups that participate in local leagues, so you can actually work hard and play hard at work.
