The West Reading Playground Program is open to children ages 5-12 (child must be 5 years old prior to September 1st) who either reside in the Borough, attend Wyomissing School District or Sacred Heart School or employees of a Borough business. There are a variety of activities such as games, arts and crafts, dancing, and swimming/water activities. Your child will have the opportunity to make new friends, connect with old friends, partake in our field trips, as well as learn many new activities that our trained staff will lead.
