A new summer activity was unveiled Friday at West Beach in New Bedford. Mayor Jon Mitchell announced that kayak and paddleboard rentals are now available at West Beach off West Rodney French Boulevard.
“New Bedford’s coastline and its two public beaches are recreational assets that make us unique as a city. But making the most of these natural gifts takes people who are committed to caring for them and creating fresh opportunities for our residents to enjoy them. I applaud the work of all those involved, said Mitchell.
The City s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Beaches has been working for several years to bring new recreational programs to both East and West Beaches. Director Mary Rapoza was on hand for the ceremony and said, “there is already a long list of great reasons to visit New Bedford’s beaches, and we just added another one. We encourage everyone to come and take advantage of this exciting new opportunity for fun on the water.”

HPR s Jason Ubay on the City and County of Honolulu s Summer Fun Program
The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Parks and Recreation will once again be free for kids ages six to 13. The program will be offered on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. from Monday, June 7 through Tuesday, July 27.
The registration timeline has been rescheduled after the parks reservation system crashed last week. Laura Thielen, the director of the City s Department of Parks and Recreation, said they received higher than expected demand - between 10,000 and 12,000 users at one time.
The City s IT staff is working to address the issue and will be on standby for the next round of sign ups.
