Full Notification

Last week, the Township Council announced that the CO Johnson Playground will be replaced this year, and the replacement will be what is known as a “Completely Inclusive Playground” compliant with Jake’s Law. These playgrounds have unique features - so every child, of every ability, can play together. Some special features include ramping to accommodate wheelchairs and assistive devices; special surfacing and apparatus designed to accommodate any child. In connection with this, the Township will be applying for a grant from Green Acres, a division of NJ DEP.
 
The Township will be holding a few meetings over the next month for residents to get information about this project and understand what is being accomplished. The first discussion and presentation will occur at the Byram Township Recreation Committee meeting, being held this Tuesday, January 9^th, 2024, at 8:00pm at the Byram Township Municipal Building. At this meeting, the project will be described to the recreation committee and to any public who wishes to learn about the project. There will be Council liaisons at this meeting to discuss the project and answer any questions or listen to suggestions that there might be.
