Their goal is to provide a free water play area in the town parks for all residents. The Splash Pad play area will include an all-inclusive, handicapped-accessible water park that will make a “splash” with children of all ages and capabilities. Since the town recreation department budget will not be funding this project at the present time, they are looking for Bergen County residents to volunteer their time to get involved in this initiative.
