The Concord Township Recreation Department serves the residents and guests of our community in a variety of ways.

Our mission is “to promote a sense of community in Concord Township through the development of the Community Center as a place where residents may enjoy recreational, social, educational and cultural events”. Although a very important part of our work remains planning and implementing events at the Community Center, the scope of our department has expanded to meet the changing needs of our residents, and includes the coordination of the activities listed below.
