This page, originally published April 24, was updated Wednesday, May 2 when the city sent a new press release, below.
CITY OF PHOENIX — In response to school closures due to a statewide walk-out of teachers and other education staff, the city of Phoenix will extend hours at several of its recreation centers on Thursday, May 3.
The city facilities will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., to provide a safe option for families with children ages 6 to 17 who are affected by the closures.
While no formal programming is planned, online pre-registration is strongly encouraged and will be available at Phoenix.gov/Parks.
Lunch will be provided, but participants are allowed to bring their own non-perishable lunch and/or snacks.
Depending on the facility, non-structured activities such as board games, sports, arts and crafts, and movies may be offered.
Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department staff will operate the centers as drop-in only, meaning that sign-in and sign-out is not required, and each parent or guardian dropping off a child will be required to sign a waiver and provide contact information.
