Caribbean Stars Sports & Family Day evolved from track races at private family gatherings into an
organized event at Flemingdon Park and later Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough. Family Day is a time
when kids get their exercise in the name of fun and games before getting their tricks and treats and a good
night’s rest much to the delight of parents.
