Jun. 5—ALBANY — The city of Albany's Recreation and Parks Department is bringing new programs and summer activities, including weekend pool gatherings, to give young people something to do on the long, hot days and nights of the season.

The Club at Thornton will be the site of the first event, ARP Director Steven Belk said during a Monday report to the Dougherty County Commission. The events will be held the first and second weekend of each month.
