Summer is here, and to kick off the season in Jersey City, Mayor Steve Fulop has announced a number of recreation events and activities for kids and families.

Included in this summer's recreational initiatives are outdoor basketball, tennis, and volleyball leagues, as well as the opening of two outdoor pools, seven indoor pools, and sprinklers at 13 parks throughout Jersey City for youth and adults to cool off during the summer months.

"As school comes to an end, it is important to keep our children safe and off the streets," Fulop said in a statemnet. "The Department of Recreation's outdoor summer leagues provides children and teens the opportunity to stay active by getting involved with competitive sports."
