Yes we do have scholarship opportunities available for recreation activities. You may apply at the office for assistance if unable to pay full price for an activity. The scholarship will cover 75% of the program fee (maximum discount is $25); the remaining 25 percent needs to be covered by the participant’s parent or guardian. Please bring a copy of your Federal income tax or school district free lunch form for verification. Only one scholarship per child per newsletter.
No, there is not a dog park in Columbia Heights. However there is one very close off of Central Ave. in the Columbia Park area at 700 St. Anthony Pkwy, Mpls. 55418.
