A little bunny update… our Easter Bunny just let us know he’s hopping over to a new spot (and time!) this year!
With upgrades still underway at Northern Community Park, it’s not quite ready for all the egg-hunting fun just yet—so the Bunny made a quick pivot.
Bordentown Township’s 11th Annual Easter Egg Hunt will now take place at JOSEPH LAWRENCE PARK at 10:30 AM—same fun, just a new field for all those eggs to land!
You know how busy this time of year gets, but he promises it’ll be just as festive, fun, and full of surprises.
When: Saturday, April 4th
Time: Both hunts start PROMPTLY at 10:30 AM!
Age Groups & Locations:
• Ages 2-3: Hunt for eggs in the grassy area nearest to the pavilion (parent must be present!)
• Ages 4-9: Hunt for eggs in the grassy area around the baseball field
Don’t forget:
• Bring your own basket or bag to collect candy-filled eggs!
• Keep an eye out for Golden Eggs hidden throughout the field! Find one and win a giant Easter basket filled with goodies (golden eggs must be returned to the registration table to claim your prize).
📍Location: Joseph Lawrence Park
316 Ward Avenue
Hop to it — we’ll see you there!
If you’re a veteran—or have one in your life—this is a great opportunity to get connected.

Whether you’re looking for guidance, support, or simply want to learn what’s available, all veterans, family members, and interested residents are welcome to attend.
We hope to see you there.
ORDINANCE UPDATE
Effective immediately, backyard chickens are now permitted to roam in front yards between 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
For safety, all hens MUST wear reflective vests while out and about.
We appreciate your cooperation as we continue to keep Bordentown safe and… stylish.
Happy April Fool’s Day 😉

It started with a vision… and a patch of ground.
Back on October 15, 2024, we gathered together for a groundbreaking that marked the beginning of something much bigger than a construction project. It was the result of years of planning, conversations, and a shared understanding that our Township had outgrown its space — and that our community deserved more.
This week, we proudly hung a plaque in our now-standing municipal building — a reminder of the day it all began. A simple piece, but one that holds so much meaning. It marks the day we officially turned the page and began building toward the future of Bordentown Township.
It also stands as a tribute to former Mayor Stephen Benowitz, whose leadership and dedication to this community helped bring this vision to life. His impact is part of this foundation — and always will be.
From that first shovel in the ground to the progress you see today, this project has always been about service, growth, and community.
And it’s happening, folks. Stay tuned for the next exciting phase — furniture is on the way, and we’ll be moving in soon!
Make your voice heard! ✨

It’s that time again, Bordentown… chicken season! With spring around the corner, this is your annual reminder about the rules for keeping backyard chickens in Bordentown Township.

More info here: https://www.bordentowntownship.com/o/bordentown/page/licenses Thinking about hens this year? We’re happy to help residents do it the right way.
Northern Community Park will be temporarily closed the week of March 23 while our crews finish up a few final improvements.
We know the park is a favorite spot for many in the community, and we truly appreciate your patience while this work is completed. Taking this short pause helps keep everyone safe and allows our team to wrap things up more quickly.
Thank you for your understanding — we can’t wait to have everyone back out enjoying the park soon!

Longer days are calling, Bordentown.
Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 8 — which means we’re springing forward and getting that extra evening sunshine back.
Before you call it a night on Saturday, set your clocks ahead one hour so Monday morning doesn’t sneak up on you.
🌟 Bonus points for using the time change as a reminder to check those smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries.
More daylight, warmer days ahead… we’ll take it!
