Town Councilman Chris J. Coschignano announced that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the town’s popular Summer Recreation Program.
“The town’s Summer Recreation Program offers children between the ages of 4 and 12 an exciting, age-grouped summer experience,” Coschignano said. “Depending on grouping, participants take part in trips, tournaments, shows and athletic events, including the always popular Tobay Games.”
The Councilman noted that the program, held at Marjorie R. Post (Massapequa), Plainview-Old Bethpage and Syosset-Woodbury Community Parks, Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park in Farmingdale, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park and Beach in Oyster Bay and Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing; runs July 6 through August 14. There are both morning and afternoon sessions available, and children may attend both; however no supervision is provided for the lunch hour between 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Parents must make arrangements for their children during this time.
For more information, or to receive a registration packet, call the Department of Parks Recreation Division at 516-797-4125. Families with children who participated in last year’s program are automatically sent registration packets. The registration deadline is June 19.
“The Town’s Summer Recreation Program is an excellent opportunity for children to participate in a host of fun, age-appropriate activities right in their own communities,” Coschignano said.
