Commissioner of Parks and Recreation Allen Pascual accepted the award on behalf of Mayor Sacco and the Township along with North Bergen recreation supervisors John Cellini and Joanne Sogluizzo

The North Bergen Pool Complex opened last summer for the enjoyment of thousands of locals. The opening fulfilled a promise Mayor Sacco made 5 years ago when the Township was forced to close the old swimming pool.

This new complex is a-state-of-the-art facility that features an Olympic size pool, a children’s pool, and a “spray” park. In addition, it offers a picnic area, refreshments and food vendors, and basketball and volleyball courts.

This impressive complex was recently awarded with the Excellence in Design Award conferred by the New Jersey Recreation & Park Association during a ceremony celebrated on March 4th in Atlantic City. “This award represents another incentive to continue working on improving the quality of life of North Bergen residents,” said Allen Pascual, Commissioner of Recreation.

“This pool facility is an important quality of life enhancement that helps make North Bergen a special place to live,” said Mayor Sacco. “This award that we proudly received is an important recognition and a reminder of our strong commitment to make North Bergen a great place to live.”
