Registration For Art In The Park In Hoboken Starts This Week

HOBOKEN — Mayor Ravi Bhalla and the city of Hoboken will again offer the popular Art in the Park program for kids ages 1-4 this summer. The program costs $4o for six weeks, one class per week.

For the tenth year, local preschool teacher Nora Martinez DeBenedetto will help children dig into play dough, paint, glue, bubbles, and more. Children socialize with others and also enjoy water play, story time, and sing-a-longs in the shade.

Each child can sign up for six weeks in a row at the same day and time, although they can sign up for more than one session. Sessions will be held beginning the week of June 15 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays at Elysian Park (10th Street and Hudson Street), and Wednesday at Pier A Park (First Street and Sinatra Drive). Participants can sign up for the early morning session (9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.) or the late morning session (11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)

Children may only attend the class for which he/she is registered. Accommodations cannot be made for switching classes or makeups (including vacations). If class is cancelled due to inclement weather conditions, parents will receive an email notification regarding a makeup date. Makeup classes will take place on Fridays at either Pier A Park or Elysian Park.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and it's best to dress in messy clothing, as materials used may stain clothing. You must be a Hoboken resident. Proof of residency is required.

Registration began at noon on Tuesday. Sign up at the following link: www.hobokennj.gov/register.
