Trips
ADULT & SENIOR TRIPS - Leave the driving to us!**Have
you
longed to go to places or events in the city or suburbs but dreaded
having to
drive, battle traffic find a place to park, pay an
“arm-and-a-leg” for parking,
let alone the price of gas?
The fee for each trip will be for transportation and general admission. However where noted, admission prices will be your responsibility to pay at the door.
In spite of the economy our adults and senior citizen community still should look forward to the opportunity to enjoy your life. The Summit Park District put together a program to help the adults and seniors to plan trips well ahead and keep within the budget..
