Harvey Park
Recreation Center
The fall youth sports
season is in full swing at Harvey Park Center and the winter sports season
will soon be here. The large basketball program at the center includes youth
teams from the pee wee 5, 6 and 7 yr old participants to middle school 13
and 14 yr old program. While the fall sports programs continue into November
it is not too early to start thinking about signing up for basketball right
now. In past years these programs have filled up fairly quickly. The fee for
the 5 to 7 yr old age group is $30 while the fee for all other age groups is
$45. Partial scholarships are available on a need basis. Most teams begin
practices in mid to late November with the pee wee program beginning in
early January. Leagues continue until late February.
A brochure is available
at the center which contains a list of all other programs and activities
offered. The brochure also lists the programs and activities of other
recreation centers in Denver, including the popular swimming and water
walking classes for the indoor pool at Athmar Center, located at 2680 W.
Mexico Avenue (303-937-4600). Call either of the two centers for more
information on classes or activities.
