Building Blocks for Kids Richmond Collaborative and parents from the
Belding Garcia neighborhood hosted free sports and fitness activities
during the summer 2014 in the Belding Garcia Park. The parents were so
inspired with their new park remodeled in October of 2013 that they
decided to continue the momentum. The parent group was also part of West
Contra Costa Unified School Districts summer feeding program serving
daily lunches.
- Day 1 of Programming: June 9, 2014: 92 children were served lunch in the park
- July
14, 2014: 167 children were served lunch in the park, 19 adults
participated in a one hour Zumba class, 20 adults and children
participated in a one hour yoga class
- The average daily count of children coming to the park was 100
- Lunch was served Monday-Friday all summer = Total of 49 play days
- 49 days x 100 kids per day = 4, 900 visits to the park
