The Port Jervis Recreation Department’s
function is to provide the community with recreational and
healthy activities for all age groups. The Director of
Recreation advises the Recreation Commission, Common Council,
and Mayor on all activities that are taking place and on future
recreational programs. It is the Director’s job to keep the City
of Port Jervis updated with new recreational technology and new
programming.
The Recreation Department
oversees the city’s playgrounds and parks, the municipal beach
(West End Beach) and the Youth Community/Center. West End Beach
is located on the beautiful Delaware River and is supervised by
certified lifeguards. The Youth Community Center, located at 134
Pike Street opened year round, provides our youth with
after-school-activities as well as plenty of summer programming.
The Director works closely with all other city
departments, the Port Jervis School District and county agencies
in an effort to improve the quality of life for the community. |
