When families in the state of Massachusetts transitional housing assistance program were placed in hotels and motels along a local highway, the only places for the children of these families to play were their hotel rooms or the hotel parking lots. The city of Peabody (48,000) and town of Danvers (25,000) decided to offer these children a fun, enriching, and safe recreational experience.
