SALISBURY, Md. — City leaders are launching a free summer drop-in program at Lake Street Playground to give children a safe, supervised space for play and activities during the week. Starting July 1, kids can take part in organized games, crafts, and outdoor fun every weekday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through August 22. The program is open to all ages and does not require registration. Children under 8 must be with an adult.
The initiative was introduced by City Council Vice President April Jackson to encourage youth engagement and expand access to public parks during the summer months. Parks and Recreation staff will run the activities, which include kickball, wiffle ball, board games, and hands-on projects. Lunch will also be provided free of charge from 12 to 12:30 p.m., thanks to a partnership with Wicomico County Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services. The city will host a kickoff event on Sunday, June 30, from 10 a.m. to noon, featuring games, an ice cream truck, and a bounce house. For questions, contact the Community Relations Office at 410-341-9550.
