Summary
Tampa’s launching the Safe Summer Series to keep teens out of trouble this summer, starting with a packed “Prime Turf Takeover” event that drew 300 teens to a fun, supervised hangout featuring football, video games, art stations, and cash prizes. Designed as a direct response to recent youth-related chaos—including a May park incident with over 20 arrests—the initiative, co-created by 17-year-old Russell Stanley, offers teens safe, engaging alternatives during evening hours when trouble often strikes. Backed by Safe & Sound Hillsborough, the City of Tampa, and the Tampa Police Department, the program builds on existing efforts like Midnight Basketball to steer kids toward positive activities. Three more events are planned for the summer, with details to come. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
