The City currently has concession agreements with each of the <br />Little Leagues who play in City parks. Because obesity is well documented <br />as a growing problem among our nation's school age children, the Parks, <br />Recreation and Community Services Agency is interested in providing healthy <br />alternatives to youth participating in park activities. <br /> <br />The recommended action will allow young athletes, their families and other <br />spectators to purchase healthy snacks from concession stands at Jerome Park <br />and Spurgeon Intermediate School soccer fields. The agreement stipulates <br />that youth soccer leagues will provide healthy snacks and disseminate <br />healthy nutrition and life style information. <br /> <br />25N-1 <br />
