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.

🌟 What We Do
We host a variety of relaxed, low-pressure social events such as:

Walk & Talk meetups at local parks and trails

Coffee catch-ups and brunch gatherings ☕

Game nights, happy hours, and seasonal events 🎲🍷

Local adventures around Rockland and nearby Northern NJ

Our goal is simple — to build a welcoming community where people can connect in real life, whether you’re new to the area, recently retired, working remotely, or just looking to expand your social circle.

What is Meetup+ ???
Meetup recently introduced Meetup+ which has made it so that some features have been disabled or obfuscated unless you pay for a Meetup+ subscription. They changed the interface to make it look like people need to subscribe to Meetup+ in order to join the site, but you don't. It works just fine using the free option, it is just a bit more annoying. Organizers already pay a large fee to run Meetup groups. You do not need to pay to join this group.
