Boston Parks & Recreation's youth recreation series and events improve the quality of life and promote economic balance by providing convenient, free, high-quality, instructional, and team-building programs to underserved and economically disadvantaged communities. These programs serve several demographics, including at-risk populations and children whose families cannot afford summer sports camps, leagues, or sports-specific series. By offering these events and programs, we provide a vital means of delivering safe and enriching opportunities to parks in densely populated areas.
