4. East Windsor Township Has Opened the Community Garden for the 2020 Season, in light of the Governor's lifting of some of the state health emergency restrictions. The Community Garden, located adjacent to the Disbrow Hill Playing Fields and across from Etra Lake Park, opened on June 10, with health and safety guidelines to ensure all participants feel safe and comfortable. The Community Garden is part of the Township's ongoing sustainable community efforts and provides residents with the opportunity to rent a plot of land to plant their own fruits and vegetables.
