Children in at least 17 Chicago wards will have track and field clubs as a new summer recreation option, city officials announced today.You can see more about this program at the official website, youthreadychicago.org.
The new program is part of a city push to provide activities to keep children out of trouble this summer.
"There are still thousands of openings in the summer programs so I want to ask every parent or guardian to accept your responsibility and help us fill those empty slots," said Daley today, standing on a track in Jackson Park.
The track program, which sponsors hope to expand across the city, is expected to start in 17 wards and run between June 21 to July 25, said Ald. Willie Cochran (20th).
