              Parks and Recreation Department programs at school buildings are held pending availability of
              facilities. Since school sponsored activities preempt all Parks and Recreation Department

              school vacations and all three-day holiday weekends. Cancellations of Parks and Recreation
              Department programs due to weather conditions are announced by the Parks and Recreation
              Department via E-Mail though CommunityPass or Telephone line 973-326-7370 option 4 for
              ball field conditions and program cancellations. The recording is generally updated each day at
              3:00 PM on weekdays and 8:30 AM on Saturdays as necessary due to weather conditions.
