Hesperia Area Recreation District Foundation (HARD)
What is the HARD Foundation?
The Hesperia Area Recreation District (HARD) Foundation was established in 1984 by the Hesperia Recreation and Park District Board of Directors (HPRD) to work behind the scenes to ensure that all residents have access to quality recreation, facilities, parks, and programs.
The District and HARD Foundation have a long standing working relationship providing recreation and leisure time activities to the community we serve. In support of the District, the HARD Foundation members actively pursue fundraising opportunities, donations, events, community outreach, and education of the District’s offerings.
