FRAMINGHAM, MA -- A new free outdoor program, the Community Corner, will offer field games, books, reading corner, arts and crafts, music and more for families on five different days during the summer in a variety of public parks.

Beginning on July 8 and ending August 26, this two-hour, drop-in program is organized by the Framingham Parks and Recreation Department, in collaboration with the Framingham Police Department, Framingham Fire Department, the Library Bookmobile, and the MetroWest YMCA.

Framingham families and residents of all ages are welcome to drop-in for just a short time or the entire two hours.

The Community Corner will be held on the following dates at these locations:
