“Medford is pleased to be able to offer numerous and diverse programs for all ages over the summer months. Some of the activities planned include web design workshops, swimming, arts & crafts, sports camps and concerts. Very shortly, all Medford students will be bringing home a flyer directing families to Medford’s comprehensive Summer Recreation Guide on our website and a taste of what to expect this summer. Printed copies will be available at City Hall, the Library and local businesses. We appreciate the continuing generous financial support of East Cambridge Savings Bank which benefits our Park Program. It is our hope that all in our community will find something of interest in the Recreation Guide,” said Mayor Michael J. McGlynn.

Some examples of what will be offered this summer include:

The Summer Park Program, hosted at Carr, Harris, Morrison and Tufts Parks, from 9 AM – 1 PM, Monday through Friday, featuring basketball, dodge ball, bat & ball games, football, kickball and arts & crafts.

In addition, full day summer camps will be offered through the Medford Public Schools and the Boys & Girls Club of Middlesex County…Plus the Medford’s Farmers Market and Circle the Square will be back.
