Commissioner Tucci Announces "Movie Under the Stars" Friday, November 1, 2024

The Department of Parks and Recreation is excited to announce the 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 grass field in Glotzbach Park, located at 44 Park Ave. Equipped with a brand new sound system, residents will enjoy this movie loud and clear.

The selection for 2024 is “INSIDE OUT 2”.  Two years after her move to San Francisco, 13-year-old Riley Andersen is entering high school. Her personified emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger—now oversee a newly formed element of Riley's mind called her "Sense of Self", which houses memories and feelings that shape Riley's beliefs.

“Our goal is to create a family environment for residents to come together and spend quality time with one another,” stated Commissioner 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, November 1, 2024 at the Department of Parks & Recreation, Glotzbach Park. The concessions will be available beginning at 6:00pm. The movie will begin at 7:00pm. 

Refreshments 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 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
