Our adult programs are designed for adults, 18 years or older, to get out for an hour or so, meet new people, socialize, exercise, and most importantly, have fun. Our programs are not designed to “win at all costs”. Please, bear that in mind when registering.
Currently, the Department of Parks and Recreation offers the adult programs of Archery, Men’s Softball, Soccer, Volleyball, Yoga, Zumba, and Zumba Gold. All of our programs, with the exception of Men’s Softball, are co-ed.
To register for any of the following programs, go to our website at NPRecreation.com.

Zumba and Zumba Gold (Low Impact for Beginners and Seniors) is a fitness program that involves cardio and Latin-inspired dance.
(Please note: These classes will be conducted in a Board of Education building. Board of Education activities may cancel a class on any given night. In the event of a cancellation, every effort will be made to change the location just for that evening. This is something that Recreation has no control over.)
Classes will be offered once per week. One hour per class.
Zumba will be offered every Tuesday night, starting April 5th. Classes will be at Stony Brook School Gym from 7:15pm-8:15pm.
Zumba and Zumba Gold will be instructed by a licensed instructor, Ms. Diana Ehling, who is a North Plainfield resident.
FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES, EVERYONE MUST SIGN IN FOR EACH CLASS

A 10 Class card can be purchased for $80, a savings of 20% off the Daily Passes.
The 10 Class card can be used for Zumba, Zumba Gold, and/or Yoga.
The instructor will punch a hole in the card at each class. When all 10 holes are punched, a new card may be purchased from Recreation.
Guests are permitted. The instructor will punch two holes on for that class.

Eligibility
North Plainfield residents and Borough employees, aged 18 years and older, are eligible to participate in any adult sport/program that is offered. You must present proof of residency or Borough employment.
Free Senior Citizens Program
Seniors, aged 60 years and older, will be eligible to participate in any Recreation Department sponsored sports/programs for FREE. To be eligible to participate, you must first obtain a Photo ID from the Recreation Department, located at 93 Greenbrook Road. Proof of residency/employment and age are required. Please call 908-756-0247 to make an appointment for a Photo ID. Appointments are required. Once you receive your card, it is yours to be used as FREE admission to any of our sports/programs. Most of our sports/programs require a completed registration form. Please fill out a form when requested. No fees will be charged.
Our “Free” Senior Citizens Program is a privilege, not a right.
Transfer or misuse of cards will result in loss of privileges.
Children
We prefer, when possible, that children are not brought to the adult programs. We recognize there may be circumstances beyond your control and you must bring them with you. If this is the case, please understand that they MAY NOT participate or wander around the building and must stay in the room quietly and not cause disruptions. Please be mindful that this is an adult program. Some adults may have left their children home to get “me” time. Please be respectful of other participants.
We wish you a lot of fun, entertainment, and exercise!
