Dear River Vale Residents,

I hope you had a wonderful summer.

If you haven’t been to the Mark Lane Athletic Complex off of Piermont Avenue lately, I encourage you to check out the new outdoor exercise park adjacent to the hut on north side of the complex. We are grateful that the Mark Lane Fitness Zone was made possible with grant funding from Bergen County Open Space, State of NJ Recreation and Municipal Open Space.

Designed to promote health, wellness, and community connection, the park features a variety of durable fitness equipment, which is free to use, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are looking to build strength, improve your balance, or simply enjoy a workout in the fresh air, this space has something for everyone!

On your recent visits to our Farmers Market, you may have noticed construction on the tennis courts next to Town Hall. We are pleased to have been able to resurface them with additional grant funding. They are now complete and ready for our tennis-playing residents to play! The resurfacing of the Mark Lane turf field is scheduled for later this Fall as well, so stay tuned for updates.

In addition to the improved courts, I hope you enjoy this great new exercise space to stay active, meet your neighbors, and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of exercising in beautiful outdoor River Vale!

Best Regards,
Mark Bromberg, Mayor
