RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-01-13 | 6 | Attendance at both teen centers remains high. The Teen Underground had 320 drop-ins, and the Chipman Teen Program had 410 drop-ins during the month of December (while school was in session). During the winter break, the Teen Underground is open from Monday through Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. We will also be going on some special Holiday trips which include bowling, ice skating in San Francisco, and a trip to Boomers in Livermore for games during winter break. Chipman Teen site is closed during the break. The Teen Program is getting ready for a new and exciting 2005. We are sponsoring a 3- On-3 Teen Hoop Tournament which starts from middle January through March. The tournament will be at Encinal High School Gym and times will vary. The Alameda Youth Committee (AYC) has been busy being good helpers during this Holiday season. They were busy with the Mayor's Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 4th, by selling warm beverages and treats and assisting regular staff with the event. They brought in $119 from snack sales due to their hard work and dedication. Another event in which AYC helped out was the Albert H. DeWitt Officers' Club Dedication which was held on December 18, 2005, and assisted staff with serving beverages to guests. In other news, AYC board has been discussing going to Boomers as an AYC outing, bonding activity, and year-end (mid year) celebration for their work and commitment. This years Teen Spring Break Trip will be traveling down to Southern California which includes; Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, Medieval Times (Dinner and Show), then Disneyland. Sign ups are currently underway. Recreation After school Program (RAP) for K-5th Graders, continues to help parents by providing the youth of Alameda with an after school recreation program at selected park sites throughout Alameda. Participants may sign up for either 5, 3, or 2 days a week and the hours are from after school until 5:30 p.m. each day. Parks and Playgrounds, our free drop-in recreation program, has continued to thrive at our 10 sites (Franklin, Krusi, Leydecker, Lincoln, Littlejohn, Longfellow, McKinley, Miller, Tillman, and Woodstock). The Public Art Policy Guidelines have been adopted by the Recreation & Park Commission. The Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) has been gearing up for several new projects that will be starting after the first of the year. The PAAC will be meeting about infusing public art into the Webster Street Renaissance Project and the Park Street Streetscape & Town Center Projects. A formal Public Art plan should also be coming together for the South Shore Shopping Center project. Staff has met with Tad Savinar, art consultant, for the project and a formal plan should be implemented into the new year. Harsch Investment Properties has provided the City with a $150,000 performance bond to insure they will complete public art for the Center. 6 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
