Department of Parks & Rec. encouraging residents to fall into Autumn programming

The Moorestown Department of Parks and Recreation is still offering a wide variety of fall programs.

By: Amy Filippone

There’s a nip in the air and Halloween candy is everywhere. It’s time to embrace all that Moorestown Parks and Recreation has to offer for Fall 2017. There are programs for all ages — from Pickleball for adults to cooking classes for youngsters and budding junior “foodies.”

Winter basketball is back and promises to be more popular than ever. It sounds a long way off, but registration closes Dec. 8. League play begins in January and is offered for boys and girls in second through twelfth grade. A basketball clinic will be offered for first grade with lowered nets and smaller courts. Details of location and time are determined by age group and can be found on our website at www.moorestownrec.com

Going on Now at the Recreation Center is:

  • Open Gym for Grades 4–12 on Monday through Friday from 2:30–5:30 p.m.
  • Open Gym for High School aged students only on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
  • “All in Tuesdays” happen every Tuesday during open gym where attednees can play games, make crafts, have special snacks and win prizes.

Coming in November:

  • Arts and crafts for kindergarten through third grade from on Saturdays starting on Saturday, Nov. 4 to Saturday, Dec 16.
  • Intro to baking basics for second through fifth grade on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 8, 15 and 29 from 4 to 6 p.m.
  • Baking Autumn Spice for third through sixth grade on Monday, Nov. 6 and 13 from 4 to 6:30 p.m.
  • Baking Autumn Spice for fifth through eighth grades on Saturday, Nov. 4 and Nov. 18 from noon to 2:30 p.m.

Special Needs Activity Day will be on Sunday, Oct. 29 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Church Street Recreation Center on the 3rd Floor. To register go to www.moorestownrec.com under Fall 2017 programs. The instructors will be the Moorekids Teen Leadership Committee. There is no charge to participate, but those interested should please register by Oct. 27 so there are enough supplies.

This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to participate in a variety of activities from ping pong and pool to game playing and pumpkin decorating. Individuals with special needs and their siblings or friends will spend their afternoon with a teen leader in a positive and fun atmosphere. Water and snacks will be provided by MooreKids.

The fall is a busy time and goes quickly, so try to carve out some enjoyment time for yourself and your family.
