Recreation

Events and activities coordinated by the Recreation Department fall under the auspices of the Recreation and Community Relations Committee and is supervised by the Director of Recreation and Parks. The committee is chaired by a council member designated by the mayor. Two additional council members sit on the committee.

In addition to the Director, there is a Recreation Events Coordinator, a Recreation Leader, and any other members that the mayor considers necessary.

The Recreation and Community Relations Committee also oversees organized "Panther" sports programs in the Borough organized by the Recreation & Parks Director.  Funding for the Committee events and activities is provided by the municipal budget, but donations are solicited from borough businesses and additional funds are raised from an annual Street Fair on McBride Avenue.  Also, the Committee operates a Summer Camp in town every year that is totally funded through camp registrations.

Sports programs such as Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Soccer, and Flag Football are offered through Recreation & Parks for Woodland Park children in K thru 8th.  Competition are held with neighboring Little Falls and Totowa teams.  Click on the Panthers icon to the left to sign up.
