Use playgrounds at your own risk, wear faces masks and wipe down all surfaces prior to use. While the Shamong Township Department of Public Works will clean the equipment on occasion, there is no guarantee that the equipment will be clean and residents’ use of this equipment for themselves or their family members is at their own risk.
