DEPARTMENT NEWS 

HOW DO I:

Gates Recreation & Parks Department announces Summer Program Listing now on-line. Check out the 2012 Summer Recreation Program by going to the "Programs" Web Page above. Resident registration has begun.

Change in Playground Summer Meals Program. Due to re-districting by NYS for the free Summer Meals Program our playground sites at Westgate Park and Washington Irving School will NOT automatically qualify for free breakfast and lunch this summer. Eligibility will be determined for these sites based on participant’s residency. Fifty-one percent of the participants attending camp must live in the designated area to qualify for the free breakfast and lunch in order for all participants to receive meals. This will not be determined until registration for our summer playgrounds is complete and the roster of participants is sent in.

We were not notified of this until after our summer brochure was already printed and apologize for any miscommunication about this benefit.

The Westgate Skate Park to open for the 2012 season at a date to be determined. The Westgate Skate Park will not open as scheduled. Please check back at this web site or call 426-1670 for updates on the skate park opening.
