UCPD Summer Sandlot Program A Huge Success

UNION CITY, CA — Union City kids between the ages of 5 and 12 years old had a fun new activity available this summer — a Summer Sandlot Baseball Program that was a collaboration between UCPD, Union City Community & Recreation Services, Youth and Family Services and local volunteers.

Games were played every Wednesday from June 2 through August 2 at Town Estates Park.

It wrapped up with an end-of-season barbecue, hosted by UCPD and the Alameda County Fire Department.

Kids learned valuable lessons including sportsmanship, teamwork, and hard work.

It cost just $5 for the whole summer.

If you would like to thank the police department or inquire about next season to participate, sponsor or volunteer, contact Lt. Sergio Quintero at sergioq@unioncity.org.
