Haworth ranked as the #1 place to raise a family in New Jersey and #5 in the US!! As ranked by Niche.com, a ranking and review site, and seen on NEWS 12 NJ and NJFamily.com Spring has officially sprung, and we are starting to feel glimpses of it in the air. The season of fun outdoor activities is here, and we hope you'll embrace it all. Be sure to bring your children (or just come down to watch) to the Annual Spring Egg Hunt. Thanks to the Rec Commission for organizing each year and to the HPD, DPW and HVAC for their assistance in making it a safe and fun event. (Pro tip: it's over quickly, don't be late!) The Board of Health's Annual Fitness Challenge starts on Monday 3/31 and lasts through 5/3. @haworthfit is the Instagram page to subscribe to for updates. Also, make sure to check out Haworth Har-Tru Tennis, Haworth Pickleball and the Haworth Swim Club to join and participate. These clubs provide fun ways to stay active with family and friends--and to make new friends!
