Recreation Director<\/h2>\n

Andrew Gallo<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

September 2026 will mark my tenth year serving as the Director of Recreation in Saddle Brook. As a lifelong resident who grew up participating in the recreation programs\u2014playing soccer, basketball, and baseball\u2014it is truly an honor to now give back to the very department that helped shape my experiences. The core goals of our department remain unchanged from those instilled in me years ago: to let kids be kids, provide them with the best opportunities possible, and foster a love for the game while ensuring they have fun. Over the past decade, our department has grown significantly, and I am excited about what the future holds for our community\u2019s youth. I can be reached via email at SBREC@SADDLEBROOKNJ.GOV<\/a> or by phone at (201) 350-2108.<\/p>\n

Recreation Director's Assistant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diane Bonner<\/strong><\/p>\n

I began working full-time within the Recreation Department in 2022, after previously serving as a commissioner for both the Recreation Softball and Basketball Leagues. As a parent of two children who have participated in our recreation programs, it is truly a privilege to continue supporting and strengthening the tradition of providing quality opportunities for the township\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
