The Department of Parks and Recreation has had a long-standing commitment to providing active programs for adults and seniors.

For those adults wishing to find a little “friendly competition” the Recreation Basketball, Soccer, Co-Ed Volleyball and Co-Ed Softball Leagues are a perfect fit. The Adult Recreation Co-Ed Basketball League is a great way to meet other adults who share your love of hoops. Located conveniently in the Moorestown High School Isenberg Gym this winter, those wishing to stay in shape and find a fun evening of hoops will find it here. In the spring this program will move to the Church Street Recreation Center Gym. Co-Ed Volleyball at William Allen Middle School is another great way to meet other volleyball enthusiasts in a friendly, yet competitive environment. Spring will host Co-Ed Softball at Jeff young Fields and registration will be open shortly.
For adults wishing to find the perfect personal fitness program, you need look no further than Moorestown Recreation. From Balanced Athletics to Boot Camp to Yoga and more, Recreation Fitness Programs rival the most specialized gyms in South Jersey. Staffed with professional fitness experts residents can choose from seven days each week and any level of fitness participation that fits their lifestyle.
Then there are recreational programs that feed our creative side. The Recreation Teaching Kitchen opened its doors last spring and introduced children’s cooking classes. This winter adults can participate in cooking classes or one-day workshops that focus on culinary creativity. From homemade quick breads and yeast breads to whole meals with balanced, healthy ingredients adults will find new ideas and new techniques.
