The City creates opportunities for Atlantis with a range of programmes for all
29 February 2016
The City’s Sport, Recreation and Amenities department hosts a range of fun and exciting daily activities in Atlantis in order to encourage an active lifestyle and promote social cohesion in the community.
The Saxonsea Recreation Hub, situated in Hermes Avenue in Atlantis, hosts various programmes which run from Monday to Saturday and targets all age groups and genders. A number of these programmes are hosted in partnership with various community stakeholders and NGOs.
One of the programmes hosted at this hub is the Early Childhood Development programme which is targeted at toddlers between the ages of 2 and 6 years. These programmes focus on promoting fun-filled learning and include activities such as building words, writing and reading skills and hand-eye coordination. These programmes take place every Wednesday and Friday between 10:00 and 12:00.
A seniors programme takes place every week from Monday and Thursday between 08:00 and 14:00. This programme is hosted in partnership with the City’s Social Development Department and includes a range of activities such as arts and crafts, fitness training, ball games and dancing.
Afterschool programmes take place at the Saxonsea Recreation hub every day between 14:00 and 17:00. These programmes focus on youths of all ages and are aimed at keeping them occupied with active recreation and productive activities and away from exposure to social ills. These programmes include activities such as board games, pool, kerrim, handball, volleyball, netball, soccer and other recreational activities.
Other programmes that take place on a weekly basis at this hub include the Extreme Youth Programme, Handball, Spiritual dancing and the Movers and Shakers Health and Wellness programme.
