From swimming to free youth golf lessons to art classes, the Phoenix Parks, Recreation and Library Department is offering comprehensive programs to make a child's summer constructive, safe and fun, often at no cost. Registration for most programs runs from mid-May through early June. Activities are open to any resident of the valley and with programs at nearly 100 Phoenix sites, residents likely will find what they need close to home. The city's daily youth recreation programs provide a structured, supervised environment, which reinforce positive growth and development.
Most programs are half day but some sites are offering full-day programs.
The department also is offering organized sports leagues and specialized classes and lessons in the arts and sports. Teens, adults and seniors throughout the city also can get in the act with many locations offering activities for people in all age groups.
