FALL RECREATION ACTIVITIES - JUST A SAMPLING!

The Plainfield Division of Parks and Recreation has a number of programs available for residents of all ages, from children to older active adults. The fall schedule (enclosed with the DPW schedule) is mailed to households and listed on the City of Plainfield website--click here, as well as on social media and in fliers distributed at a number of local venues. Stop by the information tables at local events to pick up fliers with information on the programs. Check back, because new programs may be added. The fall programs include Coding for Kids, Zumba, Youth Basketball, Double Dutch, Zumba, Youth Wrestling, Archery, and Youth Dance. In addition, the popular Homework Helper after school program offers additional help from a certified teacher for students. Homework Helper, which is provided at Hannah Atkins Center (508-52 W. 3rd Street), begins on Monday, Oct. 2, and runs through May 31, 2018. The program is FREE to all children in the district--click on the flier for more info. The Adult Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday, Oct. 21 at Cedar Brook Pond--click on the flier. Plainfield also has a number of activities in our parks, including the new Madison Avenue Skate Park! Take advantage of what the City of Plainfield has to offer for your leisure time.
