Our mission is to create partnerships and foster charitable giving to help H.A.R.D. create, maintain, and operate outstanding parks and programs accessible and fun for all.

Foundation News

Celebrating 40 Years of Service to the H.A.R.D. Community Dear Friends of H.A.R.D., With the arrival of spring, we are greeted by longer days, vibrant blossoms, and the promise of new beginnings. This season serves as a reminder of the incredible growth and vitality our community inspires.

The Hayward Area Recreation & Park District (H.A.R.D.) and the H.A.R.D. Foundation remain steadfast in our mission to elevate the quality of life for our residents through outstanding recreational and educational opportunities.

Central to our mission is a deeply held belief: every individual—regardless of age—deserves the chance to grow, connect, and flourish. We take pride in fostering the spirit of curiosity in local youth, inviting them to explore our parks, trails, and open spaces. Through shared laughter, discovery, and time spent outdoors, we create experiences that forge lasting bonds and memories across generations.

If you haven’t yet explored it, I invite you to visit our website at www.thehardfoundation.org/ scholarships/. There, you’ll see how our scholarships have touched lives and opened doors for individuals within our community.

As we move into this season of renewal, I have a special request for those who have experienced the joys of our recreation programs. Your energy, enthusiasm, and connection to our community inspire us all. Please consider supporting the Hayward Area Recreation & Park District Foundation’s Scholarship Program with a donation. Every contribution—big or small—helps ensure our parks remain thriving spaces where everyone can come together, enjoy outdoor recreation, and strengthen community bonds.

With deep appreciation for your continued support of the Hayward Area Recreation & Park District Foundation, I look forward to celebrating more milestones together. It is through your dedication that we continue building a more vibrant, inclusive, and connected community.

Thank you for standing with us in this mission, and for helping shape our shared future.

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 February 26, 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.
