Prince George's County has announced that it will provide free late-night activities for youth this summer in an effort to discourage violence.
The county's parks department will open 27 community facilities and public schools between 10 p.m. and midnight from June 22 to Aug. 22 for the "Safe Summer" initiative.
Officials expect as many as 25,000 teenagers and young adults will participate in the activities, which include everything from basketball to poetry competitions.
More than 7,000 people participated in a pilot "Safe Summer" program last year.
