Mayor Todd Gloria launched the “Come Play Outside” summer program Thursday, inviting more than 15,000 kids to participate in a “summer for all of us” initiative.
The city and county, the San Diego Parks Foundation and other foundations are funding outdoor adventures, aquatic activities, movies in the park, arts, and STEM and STEAM programs for ages 17 and under. (STEM refers to science, technology and engineering; STEAM includes arts.)
Summer programs were organized to support and engage youth as the community emerges from a pandemic, Gloria said at a press conference at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. The initiative will focus on underserved communities including southeastern San Diego, City Heights and San Ysidro.
