Last night we honored the 4 Fort Lee residents and all who were taken from us 18 years ago: Hideya Kawauchi, 36; Marco Motroni Sr., 57; Masaru Ose, 36; and Yoichi Sugiyama, 34.

Thank you to the first responders and volunteers who risked their lives to save others.

Fort Lee’s #NationalNightOut gets bigger and better every year!

The goal is for the kids and people in the town to get to know our first responders and police officers.

Thank you to everyone involved!

Come by and let us know what you think!

Last month, we officially brought #pickleball to town! It’s a popular paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis, that the residents love to play.

Now two of the new tennis courts at William Birch Park are dedicated to pickleball!

The Borough of Fort Lee received a grant from Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco for $74,000 for a new surface for the playground at William T. Birch Park (behind the Fort Lee Recreation Center).

Work on the playground will take place this year.
