Who says swings are just for kids?

Check out the new Expression Swing at Maple Street Park! Designed for adults and children to swing together face-to-face, it's all about sharing smiles, laughs, conversations, and making memories.

A huge thank you to the EJRP Maintenance Team for getting it installed and ready for everyone to enjoy. We love seeing families already putting it to good use!

Be sure to give it a try the next time you're at Maple Street Park

Today was the first day of summer staff training for Team EJRP!

We welcomed approximately 160 seasonal staff who will help create safe, fun, and memorable experiences for our campers, swimmers, program participants, families, and community members this summer.

We spent the morning talking about teamwork, leadership, community impact, and what it means to be a positive role model. Most importantly, we talked about the difference each of us can make in someone's day.

A huge thank you to this amazing group for bringing their energy and enthusiasm. Summer is officially here, and we can't wait to get started!

☀️ Here's to a great summer, Team EJRP!

The Essex Area Senior Center Grand Reopening last Friday was a huge success!

Thank you to everyone who came out to see the space and explore our programs. We had a full house and couldn't have done it without all of our volunteers and people that hold this place very close to their hearts.

We are so proud of this space and grateful for the patience that our community demonstrated as we had segmented programming through the city for the past two years. It makes being home all the more sweeter with such a great crew filling the room!
