PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield Department of Community Development Recreation Program announced that it will continue the Summer Parks Playground Program at three city parks this summer for six 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, July 9. Normal hours will be Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until noon, and then 1 p.m. until 4 p.m through Friday, August 17. Playground leaders will be stationed at 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.
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, contact Rebecca Tefft, the recreation activities coordinator, at 413-499-9370.
