Supervised Playground Program Available in Upper Moreland

The Upper Moreland Parks and Recreation Department will hold its 2013 Supervised Playground Program from June 24 – Aug. 16.

The program, over 25 years old, runs for eight weeks, and parents can choose all eight weeks, or split the time in half, omitting July 4.

While the Supervised Playgrounds may have started as actual supervised playground visits, the program itself has evolved to incorporate various youth-focused recreational activities, featuring sports, games, arts and crafts and special events.

The program also offers participants various day trips, such as to TNT Amusements, Happy Tymes, Bouce U, Thunderbird Bowling and more.

The Supervised Playgrounds will be held at three locations (Upper Moreland Primary, Intermediate and Middle schools), from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Additionally, each location will house certain age-ranges of youth, from grades 1 – 8.

According to Upper Moreland Recreational Programs coordinator Katie Kollar, parents may pick up their children at anytime, and older youth may leave as they wish, with prior parent and staff arrangements.

An early bird registration discount ends May 10. For the first four weeks of the program, the registration is June 7. The final four weeks deadline is June 28.
