The Jersey City Department of Recreation & Youth Development is pleased to report that our Spring season programs; basketball, boxing, soccer, track and so much more are posted in the “Programs” section and will run from April 10, 2025 thru June 2025.
*** Some fees are associated with programs ***
As of June 1, 2023, the Jersey City Department of Recreation & Youth Development has moved to our new online system, Facilitron, for facility field permits and scheduling. While this will take a little time to have everything converted to reflect accurate availability, we ask that you please help us make this process as seamless as possible. First, we need to you create an account on www.facilitron.com/cityofjerseycity upload your current certificate of insurance.
Please visit https://jcrec.recdesk.com/Community/Facility?type=2 to learn more about our Pool Pre-Season Schedule. Swim lessons are posted in the “programs” section.
If your family qualifies as Low-to-Moderate-Income (“LMI”), discounted registration rates are available to you. To complete the required application and establish your family as LMI, click on the following link: https://jcrec.recdesk.com/Community/Membership/Detail?membershipId=3774.
