NEIGHBORHOOD RECREATION CENTERS
Through the operation of 8 community centers and two school-based programs, the City of Syracuse provides daily recreational opportunities for local youth from a number of city neighborhoods during the after-school hours. Drop-In recreation is free of charge and may include a variety of fun, engaging programs and games designed to keep both the body and mind active! All activities are led by experienced recreation staff or qualified volunteers. Drop-In recreation is open to city youth ages 7-15. Programs for older teens are available where noted. Space may be limited, and some programs require advanced registration.
Drop in today at the Center in your neighborhood or call for more details. Don't miss out on any of the fun!
