Message from the Superintendent of Recreation & Parks

Our Fair Lawn Recreation and Parks Department staff is committed to providing top notch cultural, leisure and recreational/sports activities to all the residents of Fair Lawn.  Various parks and recreational facilities in the Borough have been updated which includes a new playground at Etler Park, a Pickleball Complex (8 courts) at Warren Point Annex, Bocci Ball Court in Memorial Park, a restroom facility at the Monte Weed Turf Complex and a two-tubed water slide at Memorial Pool. Upcoming projects to be completed in early 2025 is a new playground at Edison Park. Additionally, a new swing set and playground surface will be installed at Brookdale Park. The Memorial Pool water slide will have a shade element installed in 2025. We are continually striving to improve all our Borough of Fair Lawn recreational facilities for all our residents to enjoy.
