Calling all CHS students looking for Open Gym hoops, free food, drinks and community fun. Maplewood & South Orange Police Department's popular Thursday Open Gym program is a fun, once-a-month opportunity for local teenagers to engage with our community in a positive and meaningful way. Every time we build stronger relationships with our younger community members, while providing them with a fun, safe and welcoming environment, we bridge the gap a little more. 2026 dates include MARCH 19, APRIL 9, MAY 14 & JUNE 4. Teens can meet in the CHS Main Gym at 4 p.m. Questions? Reach out to MPD's Community Engagement Unit (blewin@maplewoodnj.gov) for more information.
