The Borough of Dumont must unfortunately announce the postponement of our fall sports programs. The Dumont Recreation Commission recently voted not to move forward with fall sports based on the current state guidelines and restrictions on youth sports believing it will be impossible to fully incorporate these regulations. After this vote, The Borough of Dumont in coordination with our legal counsel and risk manager, citing borough liability and reports of COVID-19 outbreaks throughout youth sports leagues, determined that it is not possible to manage a safe sports program this fall. We understand many will be disappointed but please know our top priority during the COVID-19 public health crisis has been the safety and well-being of our community. Please continue to follow us for updates as we remain committed to providing recreational programs where possible for the benefit of our Dumont family.

The State of New Jersey recently issued Executive Order # 157, which permits public playgrounds to reopen on July 2, 2020. After careful consideration of current state regulations and per the guidance of our risk manager, The Borough of Dumont has decided to open our playgrounds and borough fields for the use of our residents and families. We make this decision with the abundance of caution and ask all residents to use good judgment and adhere to all current CDC guidelines. The Borough of Dumont has instituted a regular cleaning schedule for playground equipment, and it is strongly recommended all residents properly clean any park equipment before and after use. Weather permitting, Dumont DPW will disinfect all playgrounds Sunday through Friday from 7 am – 9 am. There will be no scheduled cleaning on Saturdays. While borough parks and fields are now open, all public restrooms will remain closed until further notice. New Jersey is thankfully one of the few states with decreasing numbers during the COVID-19 public health crisis but we must remain vigilant and please remember the following:

• Stay home if sick
• Practice social distancing
• Cover coughs and sneezes
• Wash hands often
• Avoid touching face
• Wear cloth face-covering unless age or health concerns indicate otherwise
• Recreational sports leagues are still canceled, and all high and medium risk sports included in Executive Order 149 are still prohibited
