1. Where can I find information about recreation registration, programs, and facilities?

Information regarding recreation programs, classes, and activities can be found on our Community Activities page.

2. How do I set up an account in CommunityPass?

If you already have a CP account from another organization or community, please use the link on www.newprov.org/recreation to access the site. You can use your existing username and password to log in and register for NP Rec programs. You do not need to create a new account.

• If you do not have an account, follow the link from the above and then choose “Create an Account.” Complete the family account form by filling in your information and clicking on “continue” until you finish your account setup. Your family CP profile is now set up. Clicking “finish” will return you to the CP homepage.

IMPORTANT Information on your Family Account Homepage: On your CP homepage, you can view registrations, pay balances, and update information by mousing over the words “My Account” in the upper left corner and following the corresponding link.

3. How do I register for a NP Rec program using CommunityPass?

To register for a class or camp, follow the link on www.newprov.org/recreation to begin. Provide your username and password and log in. On your family CP homepage you will see a listing of New Providence organizations that use CP for registration.  Non-residents may register for programs for an additional $20 fee.

1. Click on the orange box labeled “View Programs and Register” next to New Providence Recreation and choose the appropriate season (2023 Youth Summer, 2023 Tennis Reservations).
2. Verify your contact information and e-mail (click “continue” to proceed).
3. Select those family members that you are registering and click “Continue.” If the family member that you want to register is not present in the list, click the “Add New Child” or “Add New Adult” button to add additional family members. Repeat as necessary until all family members that are registering are displayed in the list. Continue as directed on the screen.
4. On the “Profile Verification” page, enter or confirm the required information for each individual you are registering. When finished, click on the “Continue” button. Please Note: You can choose more than one family member so that registration is completed in a single transaction (i.e.: register two children for camps at the same time).
5. On the next page, select the appropriate program(s) for each member of your family. When finished, click “continue”.
6. Follow the remaining steps to complete and pay for your registration. CP will calculate your cost on your “Confirmation” page. Payment can be made with a credit card (Visa, Master Card, or Discover). 

An e-mail confirmation of the transaction will be sent to the e-mail address(es) on the account. 

4. What if the class I would like to register for is full (says Waitlist)?

Each program has a maximum number to ensure instructor/participant ratios are met and that the allotted space is suitable. 

If a class/camp is full, you may put your child (or yourself) on the Waitlist (no fee is charged for going on the waitlist).  If a spot in the program becomes available:

• The first registrant on the Waitlist is "released" and an e-mail is sent to the address on the corresponding CommunityPass account.
• Two links are provided in this e-mail, one to complete the registration and one to decline the spot in the program.

Recreation requests that participants accept or decline the available spot within 48 hours (or 2 business days).  If a spot is declined, the spot will be offered to the next person on the waitlist.

5. How do I cancel a registration?

 To cancel a registration, please call the office at (908) 464-4430.  For each cancellation, a withdrawal fee will be charged:

•  $20 for all programs EXCEPT…
•  $25 for Teen Venture Camp

 If a transfer is made (going from one program to another), no withdrawal fee is charged.

6. If a class is cancelled, how/when is a make-up class scheduled?

If a class is cancelled due to weather or instructor illness, a make-up is scheduled.  In most cases, the make-up class occurs on the next class day after session dates are completed. For example, a Saturday class runs for five weeks, ending on Saturday, May 8.  The make-up date would be Saturday, May 15.  If a class cannot be made up, a refund for that class will be provided to all registrants.

If a program or class is cancelled prior to the start of the season due to low enrollment, a full refund will be provided.

7. Can Recreation help me with my NP PAL or Community Pool registration?

Although they both use CommunityPass, NP PAL and the NP Community Pool are separate organizations from New Providence Recreation.  

Recreation staff members can view your CommunityPass account, but are unable to see registrations completed through other organizations.

NP PAL can be reached via e-mail via their website at www.nppal.org.  The NP Community Pool website is www.nppool.org, or you can call (908) 464-4141.

Requests for field usage must be made via the Facilities Usage Form,  In order to receive consideration for reserving a field, a group/business must provide proof of insurance.

Residents are welcome to use public spaces, parks, or fields for group events or gatherings, however, the space cannot be reserved. Additionally, spaces like the Municipal Center Gym and the DeCorso Community Center, are not available for rental or private use.
