Did you know that each of our neighborhood parks runs a playground program every summer? Children entering 1st through 8th grades who are residents of the Village are invited to come to the park during the summer to find out what activities are taking place.

Each park has its own flavor and "favorite" activities. The Park Directors and their staff run games, sports, tournaments, and arts and crafts activities during the day and into the evening. Trips are also run through the parks.

This activities, except for the trips, are free to anyone attending that is a resident of the Inc. Village of Garden City. Registration is not necessary. A child may attend any day he or she chooses. The children are supervised while in the park but the children attending must be able to come and go to the park as they please or a parent or childcare provider must be in attendance while the child participates. This program can not used as babysitting.

Activities begin around 10 a.m. each day, Monday through Friday.

Come meet your park directors and their staff.
