Leisure’s is back!  We are very excited to restart our Leisure program. You can look forward to a great time meeting, talking to your friends and some friendly games. There will be coffee and individual packaged treats.

Leisures will begin on September 27th and will run weekly on Wednesday's from 12-3pm. 


About Us:
A life of leisure begins at home for area seniors who meet Wednesday afternoons in the Avon municipal gym for good company, refreshments and plenty of fun. The group is open to both men and women, and meets at 12:00 weekly. It isn’t necessary to be an Avon resident. We have people from Wall, Spring Lake, Belmar, Lake Como and Bradley Beach. Join in on Bingo, Rummikub, Bridge, Poker or a game of your choice. We are full of surprises and lots of fun. For more information contact Avon Recreation at 732-502-4510 or recreation@avonbytheseanj.com
