Jamestown Summer Playground Program (Photo by Jamestown Parks & Rec, 2018)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Jamestown Parks and Rec<\/strong>‘s Summer Playground Program<\/strong> returns this season after being on hiatus for two years due to the Pandemic.<\/p>\n

The program will take place at two playground sites that will rotate between Jackson-Taylor Park<\/strong> on Tuesday and Thursdays and at Lillian Dickson Park<\/strong> on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. The days are subject to change depending on attendance numbers. The program will be staffed by five college-age residents.<\/p>\n

The playground program is free and also will include a free lunch program between noon and 1:00 p.m. at each site provided by the Jamestown YMCA<\/strong>. Participating children will need to sign up each day in order to receive lunch for the following day. The meals will be available to children ages 18 and under.<\/p>\n

The program for kids ages 5 to 13 will run from Monday, June 27th through Friday, August 12th between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Children must register the first time they attend their playground site. They are free to come and go as they wish after that point.<\/p>\n

Activities will include bowling, a talent show, carnival, and the Playground Olympics. There will be arts and crafts; as well as games such as mancala, kickball, soccer, and wiffle ball. Equipment will be available at each playground site for the children to play with at any time.<\/p>\n

The Nature Day field trip that will feature a tree planting will take place at the Lillian Dickson Park this year. The Parks and Rec Department is collaborating again with the James Prendergast Library<\/strong> to offer the Summer Reading Program at both playground program sites.<\/p>\n
