The Parsippany Police Athletic League was formed in April 1965 as an extension of the Parsippany Police Department's Juvenile Bureau. The Main Thrust of the organization was to combat juvenile delinquency through youth activities.
Statistics show that children's activities are the single biggest deterrent to juvenile delinquency.
At this time over 4,000 township youths participate on an annual basis. The Police Athletic League also awards 4 Scholarships to township graduating high school seniors, based on participation in sports and involvement in school and community activities. From the beginning, the PAL Board of Directors dreamed of building a youth center for the activities of the youth of our township, that dream has now become a reality with the opening for our 25,000 sq. To date the PAL is a non-profit organization, run by a volunteer Civilian Board of Directors, a Police Director, volunteer coaches and a volunteer Parent Association.
