Township Project UpdatesAs municipal construction projects are still deemed essential, the Township is able to move forward with building the new Town Hall. Architectural plans have been about 95% finalized.The roof is going to be replaced on the Croydon Hall Gym. Once that is complete, the town will move forward with installing a new floor and bleachers. The Normandy Park renovations are still moving forward. By June, the Township Committee should award the business and they can begin installing the new multi-use turf fields at Normandy Park and an additional turf field at Nut Swamp Elementary School (they will be converting the grass field).

Hey Middletown – CATCH!
Play a Game of Virtual Catch with Middletown Recreation!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Middletown Recreation Director Janet Dellett challenges both young and “seasoned” to a fun game of catch to add to your virtual learning and work-from-home routine.
Grab a family member, head outside and have them film you catching on the right and throwing to the left. Email your 2-3 second video clip to Recreation@middletownnj.org by Wed. 4/22/20. Put Virtual Catch in the subject line and include your home address. The Recreation Department will then string all the video clips together and track where the ball went across town so we can see how many miles the ball traveled!
Feel free to get creative with what you use to catch and throw. Check out the video for more details! |
