VIENNA, VA -- With the community teen center under renovation and the busy summer season just ahead, the Town of Vienna's parks and recreation staff have come up with a creative solution to keep teen events scheduled.

Club Phoenix is going mobile this summer with pop-up Teen Park Takeover events hosted monthly at parks around the Town of Vienna, according to a news release from the Town.

The pop-up fun is free and open to registered Club Phoenix members in grades 6-10. The only rules: teens must wear sneakers to take part in games and must be dropped off by a parent or guardian.

Here’s what’s being planned:

• May 20: Flashlight Tag @ Glyndon Park, 300 Glyndon Street NE. Bring your own flashlights and batteries.

• June 10: Capture the Flag @ Glyndon Park.

• July 29: Tennis Court Dodgeball @ Meadow Lane Park, 400 Courthouse Road SW.

• August 12: Flashlight Manhunt @ Glyndon Park. Bring your own flashlight and batteries.

All Teen Park Takeovers are 7-9 p.m. For more information, contact Tammy Funk at tfunk@viennava.gov or 703-255-5736.
