Town of Clay Summer Playground Program Update 7.9.20
After a lot of thought and consideration, The Town of Clay has come to the conclusion that we will not be offering our Playground Program this summer. The Town’s main concern is the safety of all of our residents and the risk was determined to outweigh the possibility of providing such programs. We are very saddened to not be able to offer this program that many local children look forward to every year but look forward to seeing you all next year.
Instead of our typical Playground Program, we will continue to amplify our Virtual Recreation Center. If you have not already seen it, please check it out! We offer a variety of activities, resources and information for all age groups. This is completely free to the public. We will also be offering our weekly craft kits in greater quantities to ensure that we can accommodate, within reason, as many of our families as we can!
We have resumed many of our in-person youth programs. While we continue to monitor the COVID situation, please keep in mind that changes and cancellations can happen at any time. If you are signed up for a program and a change is made, you will be contacted by the program director. ALL participants and staff must fill out the COVID questionaire prior to attending any program. You may print this from the link below and have it ready upon arrival to expedidite all check in procedures.
Please be advised that all Town of Clay playgrounds are open at this time, however use of them is at your discretion.
Concerts are still not allowed per NYS restrictions on group gatherings. We will post updates on resuming our concerts in the park as soon as we have them.
(NEW) VIRTUAL RECREATION (5/8/20)
Recreation is an important way to cope and help make life better in these very uncertain times. The Town of Clay Virtual Rec Center is a great online resource to inspire you to stay active, get creative, keep connected, be informed, learn something new, and most importantly, to play! Let’s find ways to play!
Our Recreation staff is working hard to come up with virtual ways to provide you with recreational outlets. Please Visit our Virtual Recreation Page by clicking the link below as we are committed to provide a variety of ideas and activities to the community during these difficult times.
