RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 16 DUE TO WEATHER FORECAST

Do you remember the days of drive in movies??  The fresh air, the open space.  Well we remember those days too and we are bringing the old time tradition back to Nutley.  The Department of Parks and Recreation is excited to announce Nutley’s return of “Movie Under the Stars”.  Similar to a drive in movie, spectators are welcome to bring a lawn chair or blanket and view a movie under the stars.  The movie is projected on a large blown up screen, which will be set in the Nutley Oval, located at 300 Franklin Ave.   Equipped with a brand new sound system, residents will enjoy this flick loud and clear.

The “Back to School” selection for 2016 is “Zootopia”. From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde, a wily fox who makes her job even harder. ...

“What a great way to bring friends and family together after the long, hot summer” stated Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci. Our youngsters learn about family values from the time they spend with their own.  Our  families are the single most important aspects of our lives but with the growing number of challenges we face when it comes to family time, whether it be our busy work schedules, increasing responsibilities or our children’s sport schedules, it is important we don’t forget to take time out to enjoy today. As recreation professionals we play an important role in molding some of the values that can gradually deteriorate within busy family schedules. By implementing and centering our efforts on family recreation we can be a tremendous positive force in our community. 

This special event will take place on Friday, September 9, 2016 at the Nutley Oval.  What a great way to kick off the upcoming school year.   This event promises to be “one of a kind”, so be sure to join us at the Nutley Oval at dusk to experience this family event.  A rain date has been scheduled for September 16th.

Food Items will be available for purchase.  If you need further information on this event, please contact the Recreation Department at (973)284-4966, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
