The Borough of Mendham officially cut the ribbon on its brand-new playground equipment at Botti Pavilion!
Over the weekend, local residents gathered alongside Mayor Jim Kelly, council members, State Senator Anthony Bucco, Assemblywoman Aura Dunn, and representatives from the installation company, KOMPAN, to celebrate the opening of this upgraded recreation space. Families in attendance were among the first to test out the new structures.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to mark this milestone, and special thanks to Mayor Jim Kelly, Council Recreation and Parks Committee Chair Matt Bruin, the Citizen Recreation Committee, and the Department of Public Works for their work on the installation and for helping bring this new amenity to our community.
Thank you to all who attended Sunday’s fishing derby and cleanup at the Mud Hole! We had a fantastic turnout with over 30 participants coming together from Mendham, Boonton, Randolph, and Denville.
We’re grateful to our high school leaders for sharing valuable insights on responsible fishing and environmental stewardship to protect our local wildlife. Thanks to Mendham Borough Council, and the Raritan Headwaters Association for their support. Special thanks to Mendham Borough ECOSST for supporting our high school students in launching this project from the ground up.
