Leisure Services Has Much More on Tap for This Summer

As pages of the calendar turn to August, West Hartford sports and leisure programs remain in full gear. No matter what the interest, there are a variety of activities available to keep students occupied right up until the first day of school.

At Buena Vista Golf Course, the junior golf program offers a nine-hole scramble tournament every Tuesday and Thursday morning. All ability levels are welcome. No reservations are needed. Sign up at the Starter's Shack anytime before the tournament's 10 a.m. start.

Veteran's Memorial Skating Rink offers a morning (8:30-11:30 a.m.) summer hockey camp for ages 6-15. Sessions run for one week and are offered thorugh mid-August. Extended afternoon options are also available.

While most swim programs may have already ended, the pools at Beachland, Eisenhower, Fernridge, and Kennedy parks will remain open until August 21.

Public tennis courts remain open though the summer and beyond at Beachland and Fernridge Parks, as well as Conard, Hall, Whiting Lane, and Wolcott schools.
