The Township of Verona recently held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of Verona’s Inclusive Playground & Fitness Area. The new playground and fitness area includes specifically selected playground elements to promote inclusivity and cognitive learning activities for families and children of all abilities. The playground area, fitness area and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.
The project was made possible through the time and commitment from many members of Verona Township and the community, as well as the support from Essex County Division of Housing & Community Development Block Grant, Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs, Partners for Health Foundation and Greenfields Outdoor Fitness.
