Fun for kids at the Beach Flats Community Center

FACILITIES SET TO CLOSE: Given the City’s dire and unavoidable economic
emergency, on December 9, 2008 the City Council directed the City Manager to take
steps to reduce the spending in the General Fund by $4.2 million on an annual
basis including closing the Beach Flats Community Center and other Parks and Recreation
facilities. City Council and staff are working with the community to identify
alternate means of providing these services. Specific implementation will be brought
back to Council in January. Donate to Friends
of Parks and Recreation in support of the Beach Flats Community Center. ADDRESS:
