Community Group to Host Free Olympic Events for Kids at Rosedale Rec Center

More than 150 kids between the ages of 6 and 12 are invited to race, bowl and bounce basketballs in the Rosedale Community Center gym (1701 Gales St. NE) during a free community event next month.

The Rosedale Kids Summer Olympics/Field Day event will kick off on June 25 at noon, according to event organizers.

“In honor of the upcoming summer Olympic Games, we’ll be hosting a special field day where kids ages 6 to 12 will compete in teams for a chance to take home a winning trophy,” the event listing reads. “This event will help our Rosedale kids kick off a safe and fun summer break.”

The event is organized by E Street Adventures, a community group that sponsors events for children around the area. Event company Awesome Sports and Games will also help stage the games free of charge.

Volunteers and donations of snacks and prizes are still needed. Click here to view the event’s Amazon shopping list.
