Englewood Cliffs Recreation is a full-time, high volume recreation department. All residents receive our seasonal brochure by mail, and now it may be viewed online.

Englewood Cliffs Recreation offers a wide variety of instructional programs for all ages and seasonally themed special events. We offer youth sports programs such as Soccer, Girls Softball, and Basketball. We also hold seasonal sports clinics for grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade. We also hold adult recreational activities such as Yoga and Aerobics. In addition, we offer a fully licensed, well structured six week summer camp that is filled with fun activities.

Get involved in all of our programs, whether youth sports or adult activities, or just relax in the park. Englewood Cliffs Recreation has something for you.

The EC Recreation Department is in constant need of coaches and volunteers for our programs. All coaches/volunteers are required to submit a Coaches/Volunteer Application and a fingerprint background check. Please consider volunteering in any of our programs. Office hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 A.M to 5:00 P.M.

Dear Neighbor,

The Borough is hosting its fourth annual 5K on Sunday, September 15, 2019 at Witte Field at 9am (fun run is at 8:30am)  "Walkers are Welcome!"

We are reaching out to our neighbors (both corporate and residents) to consider sponsoring this wonderful event. Our goal is to make this event as successful as possible for everyone to enjoy.

Sponsorship packages offered (see attached) range from $500 to $3,000. We appreciate and welcome any monetary or product donation for the 5K Run. Net proceeds from this event will be used to improve all recreation programs, as well as our parks and playgrounds. All sponsors will be recognized by a resolution of the Mayor and Council to express their appreciation for the support of our community. 

Consider running or walking with a friend or form a team for support if you do not want to participate alone. After the 5K, join us at Witte Field for community fun. 

Information regarding registration and teams, please visit the 5K website: www.ec5krun.com.  Your sponsorship support is much appreciated!

Sincerely,

Ellen Park
