Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the Nannie J. Lee Memorial Recreation Center. Photo Contributed
The City of Alexandria’s Nannie J. Lee Memorial Recreation Center rocked the green on St. Patrick’s Day. From little leprechauns in tutus, green eggs and nuggets, not ham, marshmallows dripped in green chocolate and green popcorn, participants from Youth Achieving Greatness put a twist into St. Paddy’s Day.
The Mainstream Program put its own twist to the day by dipping and splashing for shamrocks under water at the Chinquapin Park Recreation Center & Aquatics Facility. There is never a dull moment and every day is a new day of adventure because we are a lucky bunch at NJL. Staff on roller skates with green hair dancing with participants was a true sight to see. The Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities is making major strides as we implement new concepts for delivering enrichment programs.
We are proud to offer a facility and programs that are accessible for all and facilitate acceptance for all abilities to engage in leisure pursuits together. If you would like to experience some great adventure, summer is just around the corner. Join us for our summer camp of adventure which will be filled with games, excursions, scavenger hunts, sports, swimming, and Six Flags of America adventure.
