Has it been a week since my last post? Really, I am the worst. But I did have some technical difficulties….
Anyway, I thought this was cool.
The Community Foundation for Southwest Washington will award Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation $15,000 to fund year two of a 7-week summer program for children, teens and families in an under served area along the Fourth Plain Corridor. The grant will support a 5-day-per-week summer playground program at Evergreen Park (Fourth Plain and Rossiter Ave.) for elementary age youth, and weekly special events for teens and families at Water Works Park (Fourth Plain and Fort Vancouver Way).
Both Evergreen and Water Works parks have seen increased gang and drug activity over the past few years.
In 2008 several programs were offered for seven weeks beginning the week of June 30. Total combined attendance exceeded 1,000. Plus, a USDA grant allows for all who attend both daytime programs to be served a free lunch.
And, apparently, a comparison of July 2007 and July 2008 statistics showed a 25% reduction in police calls to Evergreen Park.
Hooray city of Vancouver-
