RECREATION ACTIVITIES
The Village Recreation Department sponsors activities for residents of all ages
throughout the year at various locations.
THE
SUMMER PLAYGROUND PROGRAM: Arts and crafts, interpark competition in
sports, special events and trips to local points of interests are offered. Tennis is
available in all five of the neighborhood playgrounds, and lessons are also offered for
both adults and children. The Garden
City Pool offers a wide range of activities for the entire family. In addition
to swimming and free swimming lessons, the pool offers movie nights, dances, Carnival
Night, Family Fun Day, competitive swim team meets and concerts featuring popular local
artists.
THE
WINTER PLAYGROUND PROGRAMS: In the winter the Village provides seasonal
sports and events such as flag football, roller hockey, ice skating and a Halloween party.
After school and weekend programs utilize the gym at Saint Paul's School as well as
the Stewart and Stratford Schools. Programs and activities from adults to
kindergarten are offered.
THROUGHOUT
THE YEAR: Large numbers of residents take part in the aerobic exercise
classes and open basketball programs which are offered at Saint Paul's Cluett Hall and
Fieldhouse. With the addition of these facilities, many new culturally oriented
programs have been started, including art shows, dinner dances, concerts and family
programs.
THE
COMMUNITY PARK: Located behind the Pool, features four Har-tru tennis
courts, platform tennis, miniature golf, sand volleyball, athletic fields, and an
adventure playground. The athletic fields serve the needs of many Village residents
who participate in leagues and programs offered by the G.C.A.A. , The Centennials,
and the Recreation Department. The tennis courts are now seasonally enclosed during
the winter months, providing top quality indoor tennis to the residents.
SUMMER
CONCERTS SERIES: A popular program during the summer months on the Village
Green at the Gazebo is music. Held Thursday evenings, this program presents a wide
range of music from big band to nostalgic rock and roll. Local as well as nationally
known artists appear at the Gazebo each summer.
SENIOR
RECREATION CENTER: An area for the exclusive use of our senior residents,
where they may have cookouts, play cards or shuffleboard or just socialize with friends.
The Senior Rec. Center houses a game room and a meeting room and is also available
for evening rental by adult groups of the Village. |
