HAYWARD AREA RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT FOUNDATION

Celebrating 40 Years of Service to the H.A.R.D. Community Dear Friends and Supporters of H.A.R.D.,

1099 E Street Hayward, CA 94541 (510) 514-5722 lovs@haywardrec.org thehardfoundation.org

As we transition into fall, I’m reminded of the incredible power our community holds when we come together around parks, recreation, and opportunity. The Hayward Area Recreation & Park District (H.A.R.D.) and the H.A.R.D. Foundation remain deeply committed to enriching lives by providing accessible, high-quality recreational and educational experiences for people of all ages.

H.A.R.D. FOUNDATION OFFICERS Lori Taylor President

Whether you’re signing up for a class, exploring a scenic trail, or cheering on your child at a local game, H.A.R.D. offers something for everyone—from toddlers to seniors. Behind the scenes, the H.A.R.D. Foundation is proud to support this work through our “I ♥ H.A.R.D.” campaign, which celebrates everything that makes our community strong, active, and connected. Learn more here: https://thehardfoundation.org/ihearthard/.

Mark Gerry Vice President Gene Anderson Treasurer Radonna Scott Secretary

At the heart of this campaign is our Scholarship Program, which ensures that no one is turned away due to financial barriers. Thanks to our generous supporters, we’re able to provide assistance that helps local kids learn to swim, attend camp, or enroll in after-school programs—and gives older adults the opportunity to stay active and engaged. It’s more than funding—it’s opening doors to lifelong memories.

Steven Love Executive Director H.A.R.D. FOUNDATION MISSION

“The true measure of a community is how it cares for its people. Through parks, we nurture that care every day.”

I invite you to be part of this impact. Your gift—no matter the size—helps ensure that everyone has a chance to play H.A.R.D. Visit www.thehardfoundation.org/scholarships to learn more or to donate.

Our mission is to create partnerships and foster

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we’re building a community where everyone can thrive—this fall and beyond.

POLICIES

Some Common Registration Questions . . .

Did I get my class? Login to your account at www.haywardrec.org/register to receive up-to-date class information and view registration confirmations.

If you have not received confirmation by August 6, please call (510) 881-6700.

No places will be held by telephone. No confirmation will be returned without your self-addressed stamped envelope.

Can I visit my child’s class? Attendance is limited to registered participants only. The Recreation District has no personnel available to supervise ­children before or after scheduled classes. Sorry, no parents in children’s classes either.

What about full or cancelled classes? The District sets minimum and maximum numbers of participants for classes. We will take a waiting list for any class and will attempt to schedule a new class when a sufficient number has signed up. Classes will be cancelled if the minimum registrations are not received. It is helpful to include a second choice if possible.

Are there any age limits? Where “Age Level” is indicated, your child must be that age on the starting day of the program unless otherwise noted.

Cancellation Policies Program Cancellation and Refund Policy

Full refunds will be issued for any class or program cancelled by H.A.R.D. Program refunds of $100 or more will be automatically made as refunds, not credits and returned in the form of the original payment. Customers can opt for a credit for program withdrawal or cancellation for amounts less than $100. However, this credit will be kept on your ACTIVE account through the end of the calendar year only. If not used, a refund of that credit amount will be issued.

Cash payments are refunded by District check and can take up to 30 days. Refund checks will be made to the primary account contact and will be mailed to the home address on file. Please be sure your account information is up to date.

Processing Fees: All transfers and withdrawals will incur a processing fee of $5 for each activity/class that you withdrawal or transfer from. Pre-K programs will be a $15 withdrawal fee.

7 Days/1 Week Prior Notice to District: For a full refund, [minus the $5 processing fee], you must notify the District online, in person or over the phone at least 7 calendar days [one week] before the program begins or the registration deadline. For example, for activities and programs that start on a Monday, you must notify us by 5:00pm the Monday prior. The last day to withdraw from a Saturday or Sunday program is the prior Monday.

Less than 7 Days Notice or After the Program Begins: Refund requests made less than 7 days notice or after the program begins are not guaranteed. Each case will be reviewed on an individual basis. If approved, the refund will incur a 50% processing fee or be prorated based on the number of classes attended or that have passed.

Failure to attend a program (no shows) will not be granted a refund. Refunds will not be issued for requests received after the program is finished.

Facility Rental Cancellation and Refund Policy

Buildings, picnic areas, theater, fields, gyms: Any changes to the rental contract/permit regarding date, location or cancellation are subject to a forfeiture of the $50 non-refundable deposit and must be made before thirty (30) calendar days prior to the event. The original permit must be returned to obtain a revised permit. Refunds are not issued for unused hours.

For field rentals in the case of rainy, wet or muddy conditions, a refund will be issued if the District is notified in writing within 72 hours after the scheduled date of use or if the District closes fields due to weather.

Any cancellation and/or changes must be submitted in writing by the applicant a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the permit date.

Cancellation fewer than thirty (30) calendar days before scheduled permit date will include forfeiture of the equivalent to 50% of the rental fees owed and/or collected to date. If fees have already been paid, the forfeiture will come out of the fees. If the fees have not been paid as of the cancellation, the forfeiture will come out of the deposit.

Refundable security and/or cleaning deposits will be refunded based on the following conditions: request to cancel falls within the allowed period; facility is left in the condition it was found with no damage done to the facility based on rental usage; garbage and recycling are stowed in the proper containers or removed; equipment and materials removed; renters abide by the facility rules and regulations and the ordinances governing H.A.R.D. (continued in next column)

Occasionally, the District may find it necessary to reschedule, relocate or cancel a previously approved permit. In that event, the District will give as much notice as possible. In the event of a cancellation, the entire permit fee (including all deposits) will be refunded.
