Dear Editor, There is a problem in Piscataway, New Jersey that has been overlooked for years. There are no recreation centers in our town. There have not been any actively open centers for kids in Piscataway since around 2000. The most we had at one point was a pool. It was up and running years ago but was torn down.

Along with the aspect of fun, there can be an educational side as well. There can be free tutors, as well as classes for kids to take. There is the potential for more hands-on learning than is offered in school. That is another part that appeals to parents. They will be willing to let their kids attend a safe place every day where they can learn as well as having fun. Overall kids will get to have fun, learn, and make friends in a safe
