Aside from the recreational activities, the centers also offer special Teen Clubs, whose members go on educational outings. The Mayor last year identified funds to build a recreation center in Adamsville and a new pool in Washington Park, a neighborhood which has gone without a pool for 10 years. Valuable park improvement funds were freed up thanks to the demolition of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, which the Mayor fully supported. They not only enrich the lives of our children, but also our adults and senior citizens. Addressing youth issues ties into the City's commitment for safer and family-friendly neighborhoods.
Law abiding, productive youths contribute to their communities' growth and prosperity.
