The Inlet Youth Commission is currently working on a project with the Town of Inlet Parks Department to install new playground equipment in Arrowhead Park. Donations to the Arrowhead Park Playground project can be made here through Living ADK. Or can be dropped off with Adele at the Inlet Information Office.
The Inlet Youth Commission organizes activities for Inlet kids year-round, including summer programs at Arrowhead Park.
- Summer Program for youth 5 & up. This program offers lessons in swimming, tennis & baseball. It is a seven-week program that begins the end of June. Summer lessons are free for Inlet taxpayers, non-taxpayers are asked for a $35 per family donation.
- *New in 2021 – Winter Skating Program for youth up to 18. This program offers lessons in skating basics, figure skating and/or hockey (Inlet Mighty Loons.) Lessons are 2-3 times a week beginning in December and last as long as the ice does. The winter skating program is free for all area children.
