Approval of and authorization to execute a Proclamation declaring May 18, 2019, as Kids to Parks Day in the City of Broken Arrow
End
Background:
The attached proclamation, if approved, will declare May 18, 2019 as Kids to Parks Day in the City of Broken Arrow. The National Park Trust has designated May 18, 2019 as National Kids to Parks Day, which encourages children and families to seek out a local, state, or national park for a day of fun through active learning and building healthy habits. We once again plan to accomplish these objectives through teaming up with the annual Camp Bandage event held at the Events Park (21101 E. 101st Street) on May 18, 2019.
* Camp Bandage will start at 10:00am on May 18th and end at 2:00pm.
* During this annual event, the Parks and Recreation Department will be handing out candy. The cost of the candy is set at $50. We will also be offering a simple but fun yard game for attendees.
* Camp Bandage educates children and adults about safety topics through interaction with first responders and other important safety organizations.
* The Parks and Recreation Department is a small part of this large event. The Broken Arrow Police Department and Fire Department will be on site. These and other organizations will be offering fun activities for children and families while providing lifesaving information.
This will be the third year, if approved, for National Kids to Parks Day in Broken Arrow.
We encourage citizens to come out and enjoy National Kids to Parks Day during Camp Bandage on May 18, 2019.
Cost: $50.00
