Summer Playground Program at Four City Parks - June 24, 2008
PITTSFIELD - The Department of Community Development Recreation Program has announced that it will be continuing the Summer Parks Playground Program at four city parks this summer for seven weeks. The program offers a wide variety of recreation activities to city children at no cost. Playground Leaders will create safe, supervised and fun-filled environments with activities including sports, games, arts and crafts, and nature activities.
The program begins Monday, June 30 and will run through Friday, August 15. Normal hours will be Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 noon, and then 1 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Playground Leaders will be stationed at the Common, Clapp Park, Pitt Park, and Deming Park. The Summer Playground Program is designed to provide “drop-in” activities for children and is not a substitute for day camp or childcare.
There is always something going on at a Summer Playground site; it may be a challenging game of checkers or a cool water balloon fight. The Summer Playground Program offers even more than a fun time - it fosters self-esteem and friendships and provides participants with positive and caring role models. Also, it lets parents feel good about sending their children to their neighborhood playground, knowing that there will be supervision. For more information, please contact Rebecca Tefft, the Recreation Activities Coordinator, at 413-499-9370. |
