Hackensack Board of Recreation

Marie:
I have had it with the Recreation Dept of Hackensack

I was always under the impression that they were there for the children. Now I have learned that is a total JOKE!!!

First when you try to contact the person incharge they are never there and you always get the run around.

Second the only program that they run is the basketball program that is ok but needs improvements

The summer program is such a joke The cost are out of control and for what they offer, nonsense. Then the actives are horrible.  The best part of the program is the end of summer day.

They do not take care of any of the other programs in town nor do they really care about them.  You always here how they do so much and that is nothing. They do not get the kids anything nor do they ever visit the programs while they are in progress. When is the last time you seen a representive at a game.... Ha ha you can t even get the the Rec Boards representive there. They say they know whats going on, but how do you do that when you are never around.

Tried of making excusses for them, and wish they would get their act together or get out so we could get someone in there who cares about our children.......

Why doesn t the Rec.. run each program or try to get involved? Too much work that is why and if they did they would have to be around.

My daughter does cheerleading and it has been a total disaster. I got involved and I now know why. You get no support. Now she plays Soccer and softball and everytime I go to the fields especially softball I get grossed out  with all the Geese crap. The soccer field is not that bad but has the same problem. Lets see how they fix it when the new field is done.

I have also heard that the softball program for the girls needs help. The field is very unsafe for them to play on and each year gets worse.

How come a town this size we do not have a football program for the 3rd grades. I had to sign my son up in Teaneck because there is nothing for him in the fall.

Does the Mayor and Town Con.. even care about the kids???


Wrestling is a very well program the coaches are great and work so well with the children.

To all coaches thank you for all your time and effort in trying to help the children of Hackensack as I see it all of the problems need to be addresses by the City.

Going to the Rec board meeting is also a Joke everyone on the board is a A$# kisser  the  people there do very little for the children. Most of them are not involved with any program that repersents the City of Hackensack.

Time for a change we need people who care about our children and are willing to give them a chance in life to better themselves and teach them how they could lead  us into the next generation...

I have heard she was to retire in Feb but she is still around. Not sure Why or what else that needs to be distroyed before she goes. How many people do we need in the Recreation Department? What are there jobs since they do not run any of the programs.

I think you are all a bunch of cowardly cry-babies.  

If you're going to bad-mouth people (especially volunteers), at least identify yourselves.

hackensack:
It's not the volunteers I am referring to I commend their efforts with the lack of support from the Rec and the City.We  have alot of parents and coaches who do alot to better the programs and teach the children. The problem is the Rec Dir, Mayor, Counsil,DPW, and all those who are getting paid to proform a task/job and they do not do their part. We could go on for days. Try getting in touch with the Rec Dir and see what they tell you.( I have been calling trying to get information about the Parks Program) Its a JOKE and a DISGRACE. And to think my tax dollars actually goes towards their checks. Apparently Al you are not involved in any of the programs that involve the kids of Hackensack. Its gets very frustrating. No support for the city at all. Look at the other towns fields (Maywood, Rochelle Park, Little Ferry they all take care of the children because they know they will make a brighter future from their support and guidence..........

Why do we have to Baseball leagues in this town I find to be a problem. Then why do we have a basketball program that gets special treatment. Why aren't the parks kept up. Why no computers in the recreation to help the children with their homework. Remember that everyone could not afford one like you and me.

What ever happene dto the City Walk path?
