Theo nguồn tin trên trang của phoenix.gov
Aug. 18, 2014 Councilwoman Kate Gallego, community members and city staff will celebrate the grand reopening of the Parks and Recreation Department’s South Phoenix Youth Center, 5245 S. 7th St., at a symbolic “cut the lock” ceremony at 4 p.m. on Aug. 19. “The official reopening of the South Phoenix Youth Center as a city facility preserves a crucial asset to South Phoenix,” Councilwoman Kate Gallego said. “By providing South Phoenix youth with a supervised and supportive environment during the after-school hours, we are not only providing support to young people; by providing a place for them to grow, we are strengthening our community.” The center will operate afternoons/early evenings from 2:30 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The center has billiards, ping-pong tables, and games, and center staff will plan field trips and offer visual and performing art programs. Originally shuttered due to budget reductions, an area non-profit had been operating the center since 2011 under limited hours but had indicated during the last fiscal year that they would be unable to continue past July 1. To ensure the center’s services continued, funds were budgeted for the current fiscal year to allow it to remain open. The center had been closed for the past few weeks during the transition from non-profit to city operation. Contact: David Urbinato Phone Number: (602) 256-3230
