Community Development Re-creation runs a daily activity program as part of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) at Pulaski Park. On July 14, 2011, about a dozen young people participated in a ball game at the park led by CD staffer Cory Luz. The game involved kids of all ages in a vigorous and fun game between the two teams. A nutritious free lunch was served afterwards, as it is to all children 18 years of age and younger, Monday through Friday, from Monday, June 27th through September 2nd at Griffin, Lafayette, North and Ruggles Parks. Abbott Court, Kennedy, Maplewood, and Pulaski Parks from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 p.m. Father Diaferio Village, Pleasant View and Bennie Costa housing developments will serve lunch from 12:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. The B.M.C.
