Trotter Park Peace Program Ministry

My Summer In The City (MSITC), known to the Pleasant Hill Community as the Trotter Park Peace Program was initially designed to identify and involve at-risk youth in structured and recreational activities in the Park. However, over the past six years it has evolved to a ‘community’ program with workshops and recreational activities aimed at bringing residents and families together to socialize in the park. The community style cookout which marks the beginning of the Program usually draws large crowds of people from 150-200 and provides entertainment and food such as face painting, moon bounce, BBQ meats and other grilled foods including cotton candy and popcorn machines. The Program also consists of structured activities such as workshops, presentations, and a basketball league.
