The Parks & Recreation Department is housed in what looks like an English cottage, behind the tennis and basketball courts at Washington Park on Liberty Street. The department is in charge of maintenance and scheduling for the city's 26 parks, as well as other recreational venues. Its staff members give subsidies to sports leagues, provide recreation support, process facilities requests and help coordinate community events like the Daffodil Festival, the Puerto Rican Day Festival and the Silver Lights Festival in Hubbard Park. The department also provides residents with yearly swim passes and fishing permits for Giuffrida Park.
