A Brief HistoryThe Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, known locally as “H.A.R.D.," is an independent special use district created to provide park and recreation services for over 309,000 residents. Our boundaries encompass a 100 square-mile area, which includes the City of Hayward and the unincorporated communities of Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, and Fairview.In 1944, representatives of the City of Hayward, various school districts, and local civic organizations developed a proposal for establishment of the Hayward Area Recreation and Parkway District. When an initiative was placed on the November 7th ballot, the residents voted overwhelmingly for the creation of the District, which was officially formed on December 11, 1944. In 1958, the District changed its name to the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, and has become the largest recreation district in the State of California.Since its creation, the District has provided residents with many beautiful facilities and parks, many of which have received national and state recognition for their design, innovation and beauty, as well as hundreds of educational and recreational classes and programs.Our MissionOur mission is to enrich the quality of life for our community by providing a variety of recreation activities, parks, and facilities that promote health and wellness, learning, and fun.

The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (H.A.R.D.) is currently hiring several part-time Recreation Specialist Is to join our Special Events Team! This position will work under the direction of a Recreation Coordinator II, helping to assist with a wide variety of community-focused events throughout the year.

We are looking for organized, creative individuals who are passionate about recreation and community building. This is an entry level role, but previous special event experience is a huge plus!

Here are the details about the positions:

Available Positions: 8

Hourly Rate: $18.63/hour - $25.14/hour

Definition

Under general supervision, on an hourly seasonal basis, to organize and lead youth, teens, or adult recreation activities at a designated recreation area, and to do related work as required.

Distinguishing Features

This is the first level of a series of classes of hourly positions whose incumbents lead recreational activities on playgrounds, in workshops or common rooms of various schools and community centers in the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District.

The typical assignment would be the responsibility for conduction of recreational activities where large groups of youth, teens or adults are participating in programs either on playgrounds, parks, or in community centers. They may have assistance from a Recreation Leader whom they informally supervise and train.

The main difference between Recreation Specialist I and Recreation Specialist II is that the latter may be in complete charge of several paid subordinates engaged in a wide variety of activities, which may be planned in advance and coordinated when in action.

Examples of Duties

Opens and closes facility, sets up equipment for games or other activities and makes necessary preparations for the conducting of the activities.

Plans, under supervision, recreational activities and directs large numbers of youth or teens in sports and games, such as tetherball, baseball, races, aquatics, tournaments and contests, refereeing organized games.

Organizes indoor games and teaches rules and methods of play.

Plans, under supervision, activities for adults and directs these activities, such as volleyball, softball and basketball.

Lays out materials, organizes and instructs in handicrafts, conducts shows; may lead or informally instruct in art or creative dramatics, acts as chaperon at dances, or read and tell stories.

Checks facility and equipment to determine that it is in proper condition and used correctly; maintains good public relations by explaining the recreation program enlisting support in planning of activities; and keeps up bulletin board showing coming events.

Where attendance warrants, informally supervises and helps train Recreation Leaders assigned as assistants; makes necessary written reports to Supervisor on attendance, activities accidents and property damage or loss.

When assigned as a camp counselor, conducts most of the above activities when related, and lead in typical camping activities such as hiking, outdoor cooking and nature study.

Hayward Area Recreation and Park District

A Brief History
The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, known locally as “H.A.R.D.," is an independent special use district created to provide park and recreation services for over 309,000 residents. Our boundaries encompass a 100 square-mile area, which includes the City of Hayward and the unincorporated communities of Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland, and Fairview.

In 1944, representatives of the City of Hayward, various school districts, and local civic organizations developed a proposal for establishment of the Hayward Area Recreation and Parkway District. When an initiative was placed on the November 7th ballot, the residents voted overwhelmingly for the creation of the District, which was officially formed on December 11, 1944. In 1958, the District changed its name to the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, and has become the largest recreation district in the State of California.

Since its creation, the District has provided residents with many beautiful facilities and parks, many of which have received national and state recognition for their design, innovation and beauty, as well as hundreds of educational and recreational classes and programs.

Our Mission
Our mission is to enrich the quality of life for our community by providing a variety of recreation activities, parks, and facilities that promote health and wellness, learning, and fun.
