Elmwood Park Recreation

“Not everyone has gone "down the shore" on this beautiful Saturday. Quite a few individuals, including ourselves, visited the Elmwood Park Multi-Cultural Festival Street Fair on Market Street to check out vendor markets, interactive activities, art demonstrations, games, and food trucks at an all-in-one-day event. Just in time for lunch, one of us ended up getting a waffle cone with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup. From one of the food trucks, Carinderia on Wheels ordered the veggie pancit and veggie spring roll (lumpia). Carinderias (Tagalog: karinderya) are small Filipino 🇵🇭 eating establishments, typically in a market or by the roadside. Pancit is a classic Filipino recipe consisting of an easy stir-fried rice noodle served with snow peas, cabbage, and carrots. It was tasty and not greasy or messy. The spring roll has a crepe-like wrapping and comes with carrots, green beans (string beans), bean sprouts, and cabbage. The accompanying dipping sauce is made from vinegar with some chopped chili, garlic, and soy sauce. It had a kick and complimented the roll. Just a day well spent!”

“staff is helpful, friendly, even interactive sometimes which is always nice. weight room is clean and tidy, basketball court is great with 6 hoops, just an overall great place to be especially if you are just getting started into fitness. if you have a question about any equipment, they truly are willing to answer your questions. hands down the most positive gym experience I've ever had. you don't feel like you're bothering anyone, no one is sitting around on their phones, I can go on and on.”

“Nice place to be there with Your kids, nice water 💦 park and playground 🛝”
