Free "Funday" at the Youth Center
-- Free Admission, Refreshments & Entertainment for Miami Beach Residents --

Miami Beach, FL – Miami Beach residents are invited to a free day at the Scott Rakow Youth Center on Sunday, January 4, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for free admission, entertainment and refreshments. Residents must show proof of residency. The Scott Rakow Youth Center is located at 2700 Sheridan Avenue, Miami Beach.

The City of Miami Beach is having an open house at one of its popular facilities on the first Sunday of each month through June 2004, which began last month at Flamingo Park Pool.

FREE FUNDAYS is part of the customer-oriented programs that helped Miami Beach recently become one of only a handful of parks and recreation agencies to earn national accreditation. The Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) has awarded its highly coveted accreditation to the Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Department during the National Recreation and Parks Association annual conference this fall. CAPRA accreditation is the premier professional certification for America’s parks & recreation organizations.

To meet the City’s growing needs, Miami Beach parks and facilities have been under millions of dollars of improvements over the last few years. The planned improvements have been an ongoing and expanded vision of the community since 1994.

Further information about FREE FUNDAYS and all Miami Beach Parks & Recreation programs is available at www.miamibeachparks.com, on Miami Beach cable channel 20, in the free Recreation Review magazine or at 305-673-7730.
