Copies of the entire schedule for the Park Avenue Playground program are available at the municipal building on Logan Avenue. Scheduled events are subject to change. A brochure about this year’s program mentioned special guest appearances will be made throughout the program, but did not specify dates or the guests who will appear.
The brochure also provided some guidelines for those participating in it. It said the program is designed for elementary-age children. Children five and under must be accompanied by an adult.
The rules also noted children’s behavior is the responsibility of their parent or guardian. Other rules include no tobacco or intoxicating substances in the playground area and no obscene language.
Refuse should be disposed in designated containers. No glass is allowed in the playground. Program officials also ask that equipment not be abused. Playground workers have jurisdiction over the playground area.
The program brochure states the goal is “to provide a safe, healthy, and fun environment for children to play.”
