Special Needs Social Skills Program
Throughout the year the City of Temecula Community Services Department offers a Special Needs Social Skills Program at the Eagle Soar Playground & Splash Pad (ESP). While this program is in session the splash pad is intended for use by children and families with special needs only. The ESP Program is a sensory-friendly program held at the Michael “Mike” Naggar Park and Splash Pad. It allows children and families with special needs to have a stress-free environment and gives them the time to play with each other, explore and participate in enrichment activities.
This summer the ESP Program will take place on Thursdays from 9:00am – 10:00am beginning on July 15th through August 5th, 2021.
