The program offers a wide variety of recreation activities to children 6-12 years old, and it's all free! With neighborhood sites throughout the city, Playground Leaders create safe, supervised and fun-filled environments with activities including sports, games, arts and crafts, nature activities and cook-outs.

There is always something going on at a Summer Playground site; it may be a hot game of box hockey or a cool water balloon fight. In addition to the activities that happen everyday, the Summer Playground Program enjoys a rich tradition of annual, city-wide special events including, Opening ceremonies, Chalk Art Contest, Wacky Games, Track Meets and Closing ceremonies.

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 adult supervision.
