Some Fountain Hill parents are angry that a free summer recreation program for borough children was abruptly canceled without explanation Monday, nearly two weeks before it was scheduled to end.
Following a successful "wetdown event" held last summer, the Fountain Hill Fire Department, the borough's summer recreation program and the Fountain Hill Community Coalition are again partnering to host a free event that will allow kids to run through the cool spray created by a fire hose pointed skyward over a field at the borough park/playground complex on Stanley Avenue.
