The Bellmawr Police Department has received concerns regarding children riding motorized/electric bikes inside the gated area of the Recreation Center.

As a reminder, bicycles, motorized bikes, electric bikes, scooters, and other motorized recreational vehicles are not permitted inside the gated Recreation Center area, including on the walking track and on the fields.

The Recreation Center fields are intended for organized and recreational sports such as baseball, softball, football, and soccer. The track is intended for recreational exercise, including walking, jogging, and running.

With practices, games, families, and residents regularly using the facility, motorized bikes on the track and around the fields can create an unnecessary safety concern.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome Back to School!

We want to wish all of our students, teachers, staff, and parents a great first day back and an awesome school year!

With everyone getting back into the school routine, please remember to give yourself a few extra minutes in the morning and keep an eye out for our kids. Slow down in school zones, watch for crossing guards, and remember to stop for school buses with their red lights flashing.

Most importantly — put the phones down and stay alert. Our kids might not always be watching for you, so let’s make sure we’re watching out for them!

We’ll be out and about tomorrow morning helping everyone get the school year started safely.

Good luck to all of our Bellmawr students on their first day! Have a great year!

What a great way to wrap up the school year!

Today, Bellmawr Police Officers took part in the annual End-of-Year Kickball Game at Burke School, where the students, teachers and officers battled it out in a hard-fought matchup between the Kick’n Chickens and the Kick Hards.

After an exciting game filled with big kicks, close plays, and plenty of laughs, the Kick’n Chickens squeaked out an 8-7 victory over the Kick Hards!
