Applications are now available for parents to register their children to participate in the New Bedford Parks Recreation & Beaches Kennedy Summer Day Program. This summer program is an opportunity for children to engage in a variety of sports, games, crafts, and outdoor fun while making new friends. Activities include beach and swim time, field trips, and special programs from local organizations such as the ArtMobile.
