It’s hard to juggle, work, school, and children, right? Palm Coast has come up with a way to help!
The City of Palm Coast’s Parks and Recreation Division has joined up with the Flagler County School system to create “My Zone”. “My Zone”, located at the Indian Trails Middle School, is a safe place where kids can go after school, on holiday breaks, and “Teacher Work Days” and participate in supervised activities. Parents can be at peace knowing their children are in a safe and structured environment and out of trouble or harms way while they are at work! Students will be able to go directly to “MyZone” after school.
Kids will have use of the classrooms, cafeteria, gyms, and playground to take part in numerous activities which will include:
Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, tennis, and flag football
Students can also learn leadership skills, social skills, and life skills
Other services will include career preperation, homework assistance, and computer skills training
Specialty Programs
Hip-Hop Dance
Tae-Kwon Do
Oil Painting (Additional fees may apply.)
For $33/week*, it sounds like a deal to me for parents who don’t have the luxury of working the same ours as their children go to school. Visit the City’s website for more info or to register your family.

Yesterday marked the Grand Opening of the new Target in the Palm Coast Landing section of the Palm Coast Town Center. It was one of 43 new Target stores which opened their doors yesterday.
The new PetSmart and McDonalds are also now open! It’s been long awaited but the Town Center is finally coming together. I am sure plenty of Palm Coast’s residents will be very happy with their new stores.
