Thank you for your understanding — we can’t wait to have everyone back out enjoying the park soon!

March is Women’s History Month — a time to recognize the women who have shaped our nation and our own community. Before founding the American Red Cross, Clara Barton spent part of her early career right here in Bordentown, teaching and leaving a lasting mark through her dedication to education and service. Today, that legacy of leadership continues with strong women serving our community every day — including the dedicated female mayors leading both the Township and City. We honor her legacy and the countless women who continue to lead, serve, and strengthen our community every day.

Just a friendly community heads up for our Bordentown neighbors.
We’ve received guidance from Burlington County Health and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection regarding Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1), also known as bird flu, which primarily affects wild birds.
There is no cause for alarm locally. As a simple precaution, residents are encouraged to avoid feeding or handling wild birds and to use caution in areas where birds gather. This helps protect wildlife, pets, and our community.
If you see five or more sick or deceased birds in one area, please report it to NJ DEP Fish & Wildlife here: https://tinyurl.com/y2vvmxt3
Any questions? Contact Nicole at 609-298-4300 x2126 or nbencivengo@bordentowntownshippd.org.
A little awareness goes a long way. Thank you for helping keep Bordentown safe and healthy — for people, pets, and wildlife alike.
