We also march in parades from downtown to LaGrande Park on Halloween and Memorial Day. Each has ballfields, basketball courts, tennis courts, jungle gyms, sandboxes and a meeting room. LaGrande Park also has an ice-skating rink. When it is cold enough to freeze, the Department of Public Works pours water into the rink and there is skating every afternoon, and sometimes in the evening. In the summers, both parks have free summer programs and weekly free movies for children.
Many families come with their lawn chairs and coolers.
The workers are volunteers from the town. Volunteerism is part of Fanwood's foundation. Since moving here, I have served on the Board of Adjustment and the recycling committee. There also are many service organizations to join, and I think these organizations make Fanwood a better place to live. You can also volunteer in the schools, regardless of whether you have a child in the system.
