The Rockland & Bergen Social Sandbox is a friendly community for adults in Rockland County, NY and Bergen County, New Jersey who want to get out, explore, and enjoy life with others who are also open to meeting new friends.
We believe that making friends as an adult shouldn’t be awkward or complicated — it should be easy, natural, and fun! Think of this group as your social sandbox: a place where everyone can come out to play, chat, laugh, and try something new.

Walk and Talk around Rockland Lake
Rockland Lake State Park - Parking Field #4, 299 Rockland Lake Rd, Valley Cottage, NY, USLooking for a fun, easy way to stay active and meet new people?
Join us for a friendly walk around beautiful Rockland Lake — perfect for anyone who likes walking outdoors and getting out in the fresh air while making some new friends.
We’ll take a relaxed-paced walk around the lake (about 3 miles), chat along the way, and enjoy the scenery, fresh air, and good company. It’s not a race — just a chance to get some light exercise and meet friendly people in the community.
Bring your comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, and your smile!
