Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation Department Receives Three NJRPA Awards

Hillsborough Township’s Parks and Recreation department was recognized at the Annual 2021 New Jersey Recreation and Parks Association (NJRPA) conference. 

The NJRPA awards were held in February of this year to identify dedicated leaders, employees, and volunteers in the field of Parks and Recreation and recognize the State’s outstanding Park and Recreation agencies for excellence in programming, publicity, and facility design.

Honored under the “Excellence in Programming” category, the Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation team won the Health and Wellness Programming Award for their spring COVID campaign, their virtual Clue game and their 88.5K virtual run.  

The team also earned the Gregory A. Marshall Parks & Historic Resource Award, for their “Go Green for Halloween" costume exchange program that was held at the Municipal Building last fall, and the Agency Showcase Award for their “COVID 6-Feet” summer camp signs.

“It was very nice for the team to be recognized for their hard work and creativity in an unprecedented year!” said, Bob Wagner, Hillsborough’s Director of Parks and Recreation. “Each member stepped into unknown territory to make sure our programs and activities continued to run and meet the needs of our residents in a very challenging year. I thank Griffin, Jessica, Russell and Annette for a job well done and congratulate each of them!”
