Specifically, Recreation offers an array of activities that encompass but are not limited to ice skating, aerobics, swimming, and gymnastics as well as more conventional activities such as track, basketball, baseball and football. The Department offers after-school programs at the Jersey City YMCA and Armory and various public schools throughout the city.
