The arrival of summer was greeted with many kids who are excited about this year’s Parks and Rec program. The outdoors program opened at Ingleside Park on July 1st, and will continue throughout August. With many exhilarating activities, the kids of the Parks and Rec program are guaranteed to have a fun-filled summer.

Kids are encouraged to be active by playing tennis, street hockey, basketball, and even dodgeball at the park. Counselors help out by teaching kids how to play each sport, and even join in on the fun by playing along. Aside from playing sports, kids have also taken up their own games of tag, and playing on the playgrounds. Arts and crafts are also a big park of the Parks and Rec program. Many children enjoy making gimp bracelets, and the grounds of Ingleside were quickly decorated with many colorful chalk drawings. Arts and crafts allows children to express themselves and show their creativity, while allowing them to take home their new jewelry.
