How Much Does It Cost?
With children involved in all types of activities during the summer months, sometimes the overall cost of these activities can become expensive.
The best part about the Parks Play Program, the Hub On 6th and the On The Move programs is that they are FREE! These are drop-in programs, so your child is not obligated to be at each session of the program.
What Happens In Poor Weather?
If you get out of bed ready to face a beautiful, sunny summer day and… it’s not, then simply tune in to the Eagle 94.1 and listen to the Morning Show. Our friends at the Eagle will be announcing if the Parks Program is cancelled for the day. The Eagle will also announce information about alternate activities that are occurring in Swift Current, such as activities in the Swift Current Branch of the Chinook Regional Library, at the Swift Current Museum, at the Art Gallery/ National Exhibition Centre. Thankfully, the Recreation Centre is available for participants of the Youth Centre for days when the weather is less than ideal.
As for On The Move programs there is access to indoor gyms for fun and games in case of poor weather.
Chinook Parkway
This unique parkway winds throughout the city of Swift Current. It
runs by the Swift Current creek and provides the opportunity for
rollerblading, biking, running, walking and more.
Low-Cost No-Cost Activity Brochure

family active throughout the year at little or no cost.
