Bringing our community together year-round. From holiday celebrations to family fun days and programs for all ages, we are here for everyone in Lawrence Township.

Every event and program is designed with the community in mind. We proudly host Community Day & Food Truck Festival, the Veterans Day Ceremony, the Memorial Day Parade, Independence Day Fireworks, the 9/11 Ceremony, the Valentine’s Day Candle Walk, Trunk or Treat, the Spring Egg Hunt, the Holiday Tree Lighting, and our Halloween and Holiday House Decorating Contests, along with many more traditions that unite neighbors, families, and friends.

Beyond special events, we offer year-round recreation programs including youth wrestling, youth basketball, the youth swim team, swim lessons, adult walking club, fitness and exercise classes, and summer camps, along with many more opportunities for recreation and learning. We also operate open swim, lap swim, and swim lessons on evenings and weekends at the Lawrence High School pool.

The Lawrence Township Anne Demarais Nature Center is proudly managed by the Recreation Department, and we continue to invest in parks and playground improvements across the township. We also collaborate with local youth organizations to support community programs and strengthen recreational opportunities.

Our programs are designed for children, teens, adults, and seniors, creating opportunities to connect, grow, and belong.
