To celebrate the unofficial kickoff to summer, Mayor Fulop and the Department of Recreation have announced the opening of 10 pools and 15 water sprinkler systems citywide to help residents cool off from the heat. Pools and sprinklers will be open and available for use, and all sprinklers will be kept on until Labor Day from 11 AM to 7 PM.
Swimming programs are also available to Jersey City residents. There’ll also be free fencing clinic to students, as well as scuba, boxing, cricket, fitness programs, and programs for special needs athletes. Please note that proof of residency and a photo ID have to be presented in order to enter the pools.
