Sunset Park holds first annual Pride in the Park
Sunset Park neighbors came together for Pride in the Park, a twilight picnic in the area to celebrate gay pride.
The event, held on Friday, June 29 at 44th Street and Sixth Avenue in the park, embraced members of the LGBTQ community for a gathering of love, peace and tolerance.
One of the organizers, Melissa Del Valle Ortiz, was inspired by longtime Sunset Parker Lynn Tondrick, who has lived with her wife in Sunset Park for over 20 years.
