Pasadena’s families can look forward to two more weeks of fun as part of the 2013 Parks after Dark program.
Until August 17, various free events for all ages will be held Thursday through Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at four city parks:
Parks’ locations:
Loma Alta Park – 3330 North Lincoln Avenue.
Robinson Park, 1081 North Fair Oaks Ave.
Villa-Parke, 363 East Villa St.
La Pintoresca Teen Center, 1415 North Raymond Ave.
Activities include good movies at “Movies in the Park” at Villa-Parke on Thursdays August 8 and 15 starting at 7:45 p.m. Also at this location, concerts will be held on Fridays August 9 and 16 starting at 7 p.m. with the Peter Varela Jazz Band and the AnnaLisa Jams Band respectively. Robinson Park has “Movies in the Park” scheduled on Fridays August 9 and 16, along with a list of cooking classes, recreational swimming, and much more.
The Parks after Dark program is the brainchild of the Pasadena Police Department and the City’s Human Services and Recreation Department. This program was originally intended for teenagers, but they found that entire families needed to be served as well; Everybody needed to recreate, to exercise and participate in events in a place that was safe. Free fun and activities range from men’s basketball, evening recreational swimming, teen co-ed basketball, youth and adult soccer leagues to Latin dance sessions, cooking classes, concerts, entertainment and movies. Free snacks will be available too. Parks After Dark is offered at no cost to area residents.
