Public schools are out for the semester, and for many that means more time to play!
The City of Tampa wants to make sure your kids have a safe place to go, so starting Friday, nearly a dozen places throughout the Bay Area will stay open late. Community c
Centers are extending their hours until midnight -- many of which will have their pools open til 8 p.m.
"We had to do something, because I didn't want to lose these kids to the streets," said Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "These are places where they can come and just be kids."
Programs include fitness classes, athletic training, 'Girls Fun Friday', music classes, computer classes... The list goes on.
Here's a good list to get you started:
