The township has opened registration for the Summer Playground Program.

Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci and the Nutley Department of Parks & Recreation have announced they are offering the Free Summer Playground Program once again for 2023.

“Our Summer Playground Program offers a fun and social environment to keep our youngsters physically active all summer long,” Tucci said.

This program is open to Nutley youngsters ages 7 through 14. Nichols Park, located at the corner of Funston Place and Bloomfield Avenue, will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the township.

The playground is supervised by camp counselors. Children will not be permitted to leave the playground once they sign in, unless they are accompanied by a parent, the release said.

A variety of activities have been scheduled throughout this program. Daily sporting activities, such as kickball or softball, and a daily craft activity will be provided for youngsters.

The program will run from June 26, through Aug 18, and it is free for Nutley residents. Online registration is available at https://register.communitypass.net/ nutley.
