Shanah Tovah! As Rosh Hashanah begins, we wish all who celebrate in Bordentown Township and beyond a happy, healthy and sweet New Year.
May the year ahead be filled with peace, joy and many reasons to celebrate.

25 years.
It’s hard to believe that much time has passed since a day so many of us can still remember so clearly.
Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families who never stopped missing them, and the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.
Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We always will.

What a first summer at the Splash Pad!
As summer begins to wind down, it’s time for us to close the Splash Pad for the season a little earlier than we had hoped.
With the school year beginning September 3rd, our crews need this time to safely finish construction on the rest of the new playground area without families navigating around active construction, equipment and trucks.
But here’s the exciting part… the rest of the playground is almost ready!
We’re looking forward to opening the completed play area this September, giving families even more to enjoy at Joseph Lawrence Park!
Thank you for making our very first Splash Pad summer such a special one. From opening day to all those hot afternoons spent running through the water, so many memories have already been made there -- and this is only the beginning.
See you next summer, Splash Pad! And we’ll see you this September for even more fun at the playground!
