Prime Time in the Parks is a late-night teen program that provides a fun and safe environment for Columbia‘s youth. The program is free to youth ages 13-17 years old. Prime Time in the Parks features video game challenges, billiards, card tournaments, sports, pool parties, music, field trips and more!
This year, the Parks & Recreation Department and the Columbia Police Department are working together to offer two opportunities during the summer for youth to show off their basketball skills.
Participants will have a chance to compete against Columbia Police officers and recreation staff on Friday, July 15 from 7-10 p.m. at Hyatt Park, 950 Jackson Ave.
Select community centers will operate extended hours, from 7-10 p.m., on Friday nights in June and July as part of Prime Time in the Parks.
