Plainsboro Township Deploys Social Distancing Ambassadors

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Recreation and Community Services Department has been hard at work not only revamping our typical summer programming, but developing ways to ensure the safety of our residents.
The result, Social Distancing Ambassadors or the SDA team, was developed and will be deployed throughout the Township’s beautiful park system, trails and preserve. The mission: to ensure that the community is following CDC, State Health and Executive Orders and educating the public when necessary. Made up of recreation staff members, the SDA team monitors parks and their amenities for any issues or questions that the public may have. “With the health and safety of our residents being our top priority, the SDA team will ensure that residents enjoy the park systems while staying safe. We are sure that having the staff out there will make for a positive experience for all.” Lenny Celluro, Director, Recreation & Community Services.
