Frequently asked questions

Can my child do community service for the Recreation Department? Yes. There are many programs and events that can use community service workers. Call the Recreation Department to find out what volunteer opportunities are available.

How do I become a coach for my child's team? Contact the Recreation Department to request a coaches application. All coaches and volunteers are required to pass a background check through the Department of Justice. The Recreation Department Specialist will call you to schedule a fingerprinting appointment; once clearance is complete, you will be notified of trainings and meetings for the sport you are coaching. See the Coach Selection Process page for details.

How do I register my child for a class? All registrations and payments are currently done online through the RecDesk portal, and registration must be done by a parent or guardian.

How do I rent a facility? The first step is to check the online calendar to see if your facility is available on the date you want. Once you confirm availability, a rental reservation can be made online. You must first create an account to reserve a facility or register for a program.

If I do not live in Livingston, can I participate in the recreation programs? Yes. Non-residents are welcome to participate as long as space allows. There is typically a 20% increase in fees for non-resident participants.
