🎉🚦 Congratulations to our Safety Town campers on graduating from Lawrence Recreation Safety Town Camp! 🚦🎉

We’re so proud of all the young campers who completed this fun and important program. Throughout the camp, they learned how to create safe situations in their everyday lives, including fire safety, school bus safety, and staying safe at home and in the community.

Campers also enjoyed special visits to the Police Department and Fire Department and received valuable safety tips from our officers and firefighters.

A big thank you to our dedicated directors, amazing staff, and student volunteers who made this camp such a huge success.

Great job, everyone! 👏🛑👮‍♂️🚒🚑

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s Lawrence Township Fireworks. It was a fantastic evening.

This annual event takes a lot of behind-the-scenes effort to bring to life, and the Lawrence Township Recreation Department is proud to coordinate this great tradition for our community.

A special thank you goes out to all the departments who helped make the event a success, including Public Works, our Fire Companies, OEM, the Fire Marshal’s Department, EMS, the Police Department, and our hosts at Rider University.

We also want to thank the Recreation Advisory Committee for volunteering their time!
