Parkland Recreational Center P-REC
By Agrippina Fadel
The city of Parkland invites kids ages 12 to 15 to another Teen Game Night for extraordinary games worldwide.
Held on Friday, August 26, from 6.30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the P-REC Gymnasium, the event collaborates with P.E. X-Games. The night’s game lineup includes dodgeball, obstacle course, korfball (a Dutch game similar to netball and basketball), crab soccer, parachute games, and Da Ga – a traditional game from Ghana.
Tickets are $3 for residents and $5 for non-residents. Space is limited to 40 teens, and in-person pre-registration is required.
Scott Harrison, Assistant Director of Parkland’s Parks and Recreation, said the city organized the first Teen Night in June 2021, with a big success, with over 30 local kids participating.
“We wanted to make it a monthly event, but in the fall, we realized that the teens are too busy and decided to keep it as a summer program,” he explained.
Harrison added that the teenagers are a tough crowd that is not easy to involve in city events, but Teen Night proved popular with them. “These evenings give them a chance to get together, play, and have fun,” he said.
The city will close the Teen Night season with a field trip to Boomers in Boca Raton on Friday, September 30. The bus will leave P-Rec at 5 p.m, and tickets are $20 for residents and $26 for non-residents.
The Parkland Recreation and Enrichment Center (P-REC) is located at 10559 Trails End. For more information, please call 954.757.4105.
