Recreation

This is something I am happy to assist every candidate for Mayor and Council with, because more than winning: this election is about pushing for progress: I want Hoboken to be the best Hoboken it can be.

The goal, through my business, Play! Hoboken is to make available to Hoboken everything it’s missing and while that’s nearly impossible: I’ve made significant progress and done so without spending tax dollars. A family friendly, suitable for any age facility, with nine golf simulators, seventeen pool tables, six ping pong tables, four bowling lanes, ten pinball machines, nine arcade games, two foosball tables, four dart boards, an area for console gaming and a sixty seat board gaming area.

My goal for the city (whether I’m elected or not) would be to make it so that there is always something for everyone to do. With Hoboken’s walkability, various parks and community members, I think its possible to have a cruise ship style itinerary filled with activities available for each of our various age groups daily and make those activities affordable to everyone.

Big ideas lead to big accomplishments and I believe Hoboken can do dramatically better with recreation than we are doing.

This photo was taken by Kurt Gardiner who lives in the fifth ward and sells his photography near BWE (10th & Washington) and on his Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/HobokenPrints). Due to an issue where the city took away a bunch of our very important benches: he's committed to being outside 7th and Washington for at least the first half of August.

Pier C Park is one of Sela's favorites because the playground features a spider climb to reach a tower that has a long tunnel slide. When she was three years old she managed to get up to the top but was then afraid to slide down. I managed to find Xander, a six year old child of my neighbors Tony and Christine: and I asked him to coax Sela to take the slide down. He was not able to convince her.

Seven Valleys, while technically in the fifth ward, is fantastic. My family's favorite is the medley for two, which feeds three. I suggest choosing at least one cherry rice.

Stevens Athletics has teams in numerous sports. Sometimes I take my daughter to watch soccer or lacrosse. We always root for the Ducks of course.

Church Square Park is the center of town. On Tuesdays, come Spring and until the Fall there is a farmers market where we'll often get some produce and a pickle on a stick. Prior to moving to my current house: I lived at 527 Garden Street, right near Church Square Park.
