Do your kids need something to do in the summer? Why not send them to the Machesney Park Neighborhood Playground Program! We have four sites available for you to choose from: Schoonmaker Park, Olson School, Marquette School and Silo Ridge. Unfortunately, th Village of Roscoe chose not to continue the program this summer.
The Playground Program begins June 22 and runs until August 14th (closed July 3rd) and is open to children ages 5 - 12 who live in Machesney Park.
Parents may drop off their children from 8:00 - 11:00 and 12:00 - 3:00PM, Monday through Friday, weather permitting. Playgrounds must be cleared from 11-12 for lunch.
Children enjoy arts, crafts, field games, board games, and special events. Field trips include: swimming at Sand Park Pool, Magic Waters, movies, ice/roller skating, trips to the Imagination Station in the Park and a "big field trip" at the end of the summer. This is a free program. A small transportation fee is charged during field trips.
A big "thank you" to the Village of Machesney Park for funding this program and to the Harlem Township for the use of Schoonmaker Park.
Pre-registration is required. Sign up at HCC or watch for our flier that will be sent out to the schools in the spring. A mailing will be sent to the neighborhoods around Silo Ridge.
Registration information needed (can be emailed to michelle@harlemcommunity.org)
