Closing Ceremonies
Roger Davis II holds a contest for the audience Each summer participants from all the Summer Playground sites came together at for Closing Ceremonies.

Dinner is served while music is played for everyone to enjoy. At the completion of dinner, the awards ceremony begins. Each area supervisor recognized the outstanding boy and girl participant at each of their parks and thanked their staff for a wonderful summer. At this time, business supporters and community volunteers were also recognized for their contributions to the Playground Program.

Awards from the Works of Art program, and the Nature Center are presented on stage to those participants who excelled in the respective programs throughout the summer. In addition, a new partnership was formed this year as Keep Austin Beautiful presented awards to the winners of a citywide poster contest. After the ceremony ended, everyone was invited to come inside to enjoy cake and music as they visited with the Playground Leaders and received their certificates. Each year the Closing Ceremonies is the perfect end to a fantastic summer with the Playground Program!
