Starting at the beginning of July, children from the Lynbrook Public Schools along with those residing in the Village of Lynbrook, entering kindergarten through eighth-grade, gathered at Marion Street Elementary School and West End Elementary School for the district’s annual Summer Playground. The half-day program, filled with engaging activities for the various grade levels, runs through Aug. 10. 

Campers participate in recreational activities with sports such as softball, kickball and soccer, along with arts and crafts, playground games, computers and sprinklers. They also have the option of going on trips throughout the summer which include bowling, Fun Station USA, Hot Skates and more. Each week, children participate in special events such as the summer talent show, carnival and Field Day. The week ends every Friday with a tasty frozen treat for all children.
