PATERSON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- In Paterson, kids were taking in the sunshine and creating works of art Saturday.
The 10th Annual Art in the Park event was held at the Great Falls National Park.
The event is part of National Public Lands Day, and organizers say some families attend every year.
"It's good for the community to heal the community and show them that we have a beautiful site here," said Mohamed Khalill, city of Paterson art commissioner.

Kids didn't leave empty-handed. They got a bag of art supplies and other gifts.
