The City of Long Beach’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine (PRM) is set to provide after-school programs for children ages 5 to 12 this fall. These programs will run weekdays from Aug. 26 to Dec. 20, offering a range of activities at various parks across the city.
The program is designed as a free drop-in service, meaning participants can come and go freely. Children who attend will receive homework help and be able to participate in entertaining and educational activities. Parents are required to register their children for the program, and can do so at their preferred park during the program’s designated hours of operation.
