program this summer. The leaders and participants truly enjoyed <br />the arts and crafts activities that were purchased for them but <br />they thought that it would be nice to have one more craft activ- <br />ity for each program. The leaders felt positive about the ath- <br />letic equipment supplied for them and were often amazed at the <br />amount available.

However, the children were disappointed that the <br />Twin's game was cancelled. This was beyond our control. <br />Finally, the leaders discussed the playcenter facilities <br />in their evaluations.

The <br />only change that could improve the park would be new shade trees <br />in the picnic area. Woodcrest Park leaders also enjoyed their <br />-3- <br />
