Upper Township gathered last Thursday on October 1st to cut the Ribbon for the NEW Workout facility at Amanda's Field. The entire Upper Township Elected Committee was in attendance, along with Cape May County Commissioner Barr and Rossenello. This new facility would not be possible without a grant from the Cape May County Open Space Board, along with the National Fitness Campaign that is funded largely by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey!

This great new NFC Court is for the entire community where anyone can take part in getting healthy. Located up front by the Hockey Rink it is in the perfect spot to get a quick workout in and then walk, jog, or run on the 1.3 mile walking path! Special Thanks to our own Upper Township Fitness Ambassador Melissa Johnson from M-Fit Gym. She put the attendees through their paces where our elected officials got to enjoy working out together!

The National Fitness Campaign along with Horizon Blue Cross and Clue Shield In partnership with municipalities, schools, and sponsors, over $100 million in public-private investment has been raised to combat obesity and the burdens of sedentary lifestyles. The Campaign provides expertise in building funding, masterplanning, and community building. NFC's mission is to build healthy communities with the goal of bringing a Fitness Court® within a 10-minute bike ride of every American.

Fall Fest Enthusiasts,

After watching the weather ALL week, we have hit the point of having to make the unfortunate determination on Cancelling the 2026 Fall Fest. The Forecast is showing 75 – 80% Rain. We have lucked out with every other Fall Fest and 4th of July, but that luck ran out this year.

We are looking into rescheduling this Fall to another date. We will be following up with those details as we work though other scenarios to have a successful event.

We are bummed out to make this decision ☹ but feel that it is the best one for all that are involved.
