To the Editor:

On behalf of the Princeton Recreation Commission, I would like to thank everyone that came out to be part of Princeton’s 11th annual Community Night Out on August 1, 2017. Community Night Out is the result of many months of planning by the Recreation and Police Departments, and this year’s event drew roughly 2,000 visitors to Community Park Pool.

One of the highlights of this free community event is the participation by many municipal agencies and community organizations, including: Corner House, Princeton Fire & Rescue Squad, Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, Sustainable Princeton, Princeton University Public Safety, Princeton Tennis Program, Princeton Health Department, Princeton Human Services Department, Mercer County Prosecutors Office, Princeton Girl Scouts, Access Princeton, Not In Our Town, Princeton Public Library, Princeton Fitness and Wellness, Womanspace, and Greater Mercer TMA.

The generosity of many sponsors is critical to the success of the Community Night Out. These sponsors include Princeton PBA, McCaffrey’s, Cross Culture, Princeton Pi, Ace Hardware, Let’s Be Heroes, Dacole Photo Booth, and Lily Yu (Zumba).

Community Night Out will be back in 2018 and will remain free, fun, and family-oriented for all to enjoy.

Ben Stentz

Executive Director of Recreation
