Led by science educator Lisa Provencher, Science in the Parks is a FREE program where kids will learn about water and the environment and why keeping our parks clean is important. All ages are invited.

Join us this summer and discover a fascinating world right in our own city parks. Parents plan on your kids having fun and getting wet and dirty. We will be testing the pH of the water, identifying water plants, aquatic insects, frogs and turtles. Children will learn to identify invasive species. There will be observations of wild animals as well as meeting some live animals up close and personal. Come on out and play with us and learn some new stuff at the same time.


Schedule:  Saturdays 10-12 (rain dates the following Sunday)

Dorothy Amos Park: June 22 & 29
Clapp Park: July 6 & 13
Pitt Park: July 20 & 27 (July 20 the program will take place during the Gathering Celebration at Pitt Park.)
Conte Community School: August 10 & 17

This program is supported by the Pittsfield Parks Commission, the Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT), the Berkshire Environmental Endowment of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and Dr. Augie’s Science and Art Programs.
