Yesterday, the first day of our Crochet class was a hit! The ladies had a ‘great time’ learning new techniques, and many are already excited to return. Though there’s a waiting list, we’d love for you to sign up and join us next time!

The Philadelphia 76ers honored the Atlantic City Recreation division at the Wells Fargo Center for their dedication to the community, spotlighting their ongoing efforts to provide youth with memorable experiences, including attending 76ers games.

The Vikings Football team was honored at City Council last night for their impressive 2024 season, with AC Rec also receiving a plaque for their ongoing support of the team and Atlantic City youth.

As we prepare for the New Year, Atlantic City Recreation proudly recognizes the outstanding contributions of our 2024 Staff Members of the Year. Sakiyah ‘Noonie’ Quick has been named Full-Time Staff Member of the Year for her exceptional dedication, while Efrain ‘Cookie’ Morales earns the title of Part-Time Staff Member of the Year for his remarkable work ethic. These two individuals embody the spirit of excellence, and we are grateful for their impact on our community.

As 2024 ended, Atlantic City celebrated a year of progress under Mayor Marty Small Sr.’s leadership. The city achieved 94% of its 124 goals, including a fifth consecutive tax decrease, improvements in public safety, and major infrastructure upgrades. Looking ahead, projects like the City Hall Courtyard and Pop Lloyd Stadium renovations, along with the launch of the Great Day Atlantic City initiative, signal continued growth. Mayor Small highlighted the importance of collaboration in these successes and looks forward to an even brighter 2025.

The City of Atlantic City's Recreation Department, or AC Rec, brought the excitement to the Wells Fargo Center for a thrilling night of basketball, cheering on the Philadelphia Sixers. With high energy and team spirit, AC Rec made their presence felt at one of the NBA’s most iconic arenas. The event is just another example of how, under Mayor Marty Small Sr.’s leadership, Atlantic City invests in programs that create memorable experiences and foster community pride. Here’s to an unforgettable night and a big “Go Sixers!” from Atlantic City’s Recreation Department!
