Burbank Specializes Summer Activities
The Burbank Parks and Recreation Department has added a new summer program to allow children to focus on ecology, culture or sports.
In the new program, children will be able to study ecology at Wildwood Canyon Park, while those in other specialty camps will meet at the Olive Recreation Center to learn about performing and visual arts, drama and theater as well as the fundamentals in baseball, basketball, volleyball and soccer.
The city Parks and Recreation Department also offers summer day camps for children ages 6 to 13. The camps run from June 21 through Sept. 3.
In addition, the city will offer summer park programs at McKinley Elementary School, Miller School Park, Pacific Park and Vickroy Park. The drop-in programs run weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from June 28 to Aug. 30. Arts and crafts, games, sports tournaments and special events are included.
The Parks and Recreation Department also offers swimming programs at the McCambridge Park and Verdugo Park pools, which open June 19. Those 12 years old and younger pay $1 a day, 13- to 18-year-olds pay $1.50 and those 19 and older pay $2. Senior citizens would pay $1.
