Dear Editor:
I am writing to thank Carmelo Garcia of Hoboken’s Division of Human Services for permitting the use of the multi-service center gymnasium for a Tuesday morning playgroup. The space was used and enjoyed by small children, parents, grandparents, babysitters and nannies.
In the cold winter months the parks are too cold and wet but urban apartments and townhomes feel cramped and claustrophobic. The multi-service gymnasium provided a clean, bright and orderly sanctuary for our children.
There are a number of indoor opportunities for children in Hoboken, but only the gymnasium was flexible enough to allow drop-in service and was large enough to really let the kids run around. Plus, it was the only truly public option.
In addition to Carmelo, I want to thank Lou and his team for keeping the place in such clean and orderly condition.
Thanks,
Carol Dufresne Trent
