Ridgewood NJ, Boyd Loving pointed out on the “it takes Village “Facebook page that on the hottest day of the year ,” Access to both parking lots at The Stable, 259 North Maple Avenue, was blocked on Sunday, 07/21, by order of Ridgewood’s Parks & Recreation Department. Users of the adjacent Skate Park and deep end of Graydon Pool were forced to park elsewhere. Does anyone know if this policy will be in effect on Saturdays as well, and extend into the remaining weekends of the Summer? Also, was the Village Council notified of the planned “inconvenience to taxpayers” factor?”

The Stable was closed and Graydon had adequate staff , perhaps Parks and Rec can enlighten ?
