|
The Chowchilla Police Activities League (PAL) exists to help youth participate in activities that provide a positive outlet for their energy and to increase constructive interaction between themselves and the |
|
|
Chowchilla Police Department. The PAL Program is run by a Board of Directors that contains members of the community including Police Department employees. The elected officers of PAL are Police and Parks & Recreation employees. This cooperation allows the two departments to combine their resources to produce better results for the community. |
||
|
PAL programs are available to boys and girls 5 to 17 years of age. Annual membership is $2.00 and most programs are free. For registration information contact the Chowchilla Police Department at (559) 665-8600 or send an email. You can also download the Chowchilla PAL application and California PAL waiver form and return them to the Parks, Recreation & Community Services office located at 135 S. Third Street. |

|
Chowchilla PAL programs currently include PAL Boxing and PAL Free Swim Days held throughout the summer at the Dower Aquatic Facility. |
||
|
PAL Boxing is a great way to keep kids physically fit and active while working with positive role models. Participants meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights to work on physical fitness, nutrition, and weight training. Those participating must pass a physical (download form here) and will need to purchase hand wraps and a mouth piece from the instructors in order to participate. Click here for more information. |

PAL Free Swim Days are for all Chowchilla youth. The special days will be conducted at the Dower Aquatic Facility during Open Public Swimming from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. All youth are invited to enjoy an afternoon of food, music, games, swimming, and just plain FUN! Chowchilla PAL supports the Chowchilla School District schools, grades K-6, with their Chowchilla PAL Bikes for Perfect Attendance Program. Chowchilla PAL gives a bicycle away each trimester to one student achieving perfect attendance at Stephens, Fuller, Reagan, and Fairmead elementary schools. |
||
|
Over the years, Chowchilla PAL has worked cooperatively with the City's Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department, Chowchilla Ministerial Association, private companies, and private individuals to provide these and other opportunities for the youth of our area. |
||
|
|
Special events are hosted by PAL each year to raise funds, products and supplies for various community programs. One example is the Annual Motorcycle Toy Run held every October, where new toys and food are gathered from participants to be used for the Community Christmas Basket Program. For information on the Motorcycle Toy Run, call Sgt. Dave Noblett at (559) 665-8600, extension 502. 2009 Toy Run Information |
