Attention Upper Township Parents & Guardians:

We need your immediate assistance. We are experiencing a serious increase in youth riding e-bikes (electric bicycles) and dirt bikes directly onto our athletic fields, turf areas, and multi-sport courts.

While we fully support our local youth staying active, these heavy motorized vehicles are tearing up our grass fields and leaving permanent tire marks on our paved courts. More importantly, speeding motorized vehicles on these complexes create severe safety hazards for the children and families actively playing sports or walking nearby.

Please speak with your children today and remind them of the rules:

• 🚫 Strictly Prohibited: No e-bikes, dirt bikes, mini-motos, or motorized scooters are allowed on any sports fields, baseball diamonds, or fenced athletic courts.

• 🚷 Speed & Safety: Motorized vehicles must never be ridden through crowds, dugouts, or pedestrian spectator areas.

• 🚲 Designated Paths Only: If kids ride their e-bikes to the park, they must park them safely by the racks or keep them strictly on designated paved parking areas and outer access roads—never on the playing surfaces.

Our fields are maintained with tax dollars for sports, youth leagues, and safe recreation. It is incredibly expensive to repair this damage, and we want to prevent anyone from getting hurt.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Upper Township Recreation safe and undamaged for all our Community!

Questions or reports can be directed to the Upper Township Recreation Office at 609-628-2011 ext. 248 or email at RecreationDepartment@upperTownship.com ... See MoreSee Less

Upper Township Residents took the day to remember the tragic events that occurred on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. The overcast day brought the crowd of people indoors at the meeting room clubhouse of Osprey Point Park instead of the traditional William R. Godfrey Patriot Park. The event was attended by US Congressman Jeff Van Drew, Upper Township’s Committeeman Samuel Palombo, Committeeman Tyler Casaccio, and Marmora Fire Chief Jay Newman. Also in attendance was the Upper Township American Legion Post 239, along with many members of our Volunteer Fire Departments along with our Upper Township EMS Department. The Local residents that attended all reflected on the tragic events that occurred on September 11 and how our nation recovered from such a devastating loss.

The master of ceremonies Jim Joyce kept the event flowing as it started off with an invocation by Osprey Point Resident Jean Joyce and followed up by a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem by Upper Township resident Osprey Point resident Jim Offner. Ernie Cassaccio then spoke on who the Osprey Point American Flag was being dedicated today to Osprey Point Resident who served in the military and was a resident of Osprey Point.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew recalled the days following 9/11, along with the following time where ALL Americans proudly flew the American Flag and the support of one another. How things have changed, with so much division. He then asked the audience keep these memories in our hearts and to pass them on to the next generation, so they too will “Never Forget”.

Marmora Fire Department Chief Jay Newman reflected on his memories of 9/11 from how the local Upper Township Fire and Emergency Services Departments sent a contingent of locals up to help at Ground Zero on the days following, as well as two Upper Township kids who became Washington DC Firefighters and were there working the Pentagon attack. He then proceeded with bringing up all the Firefighters and Emergency Services members who were in attendance to acknowledge their hard work for our community.

The event ended with a moment of silence while American Legion Post 239 played Taps to reflect on this tragic attack. Mr. Jim Offner concluded the event by singing you Never Walk Alone and then finished with God Bless America in which the crowd joined in.

Special thanks to Osprey Point and their residents who helped organize the event, Marmora Fire Department for their Flag Presentation upon arrival to the event, Seaville Fire Department, Tuckahoe Fire Department, as well as Upper Township Department of Emergency Services.
