Millville families invited to free Cumberland County Parks and Rec Day
Millville parents can find sports, clubs, food trucks and summer signups in one stop at Cumberland County's free Parks & Rec Day on May 30.
Families looking for low-cost summer options will find them all in one place at Cumberland County’s free Parks & Recreation Day, where more than 130 clubs and activities are expected to share the fairgrounds in Millville.
The one-day event is set for Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Cumberland County Fairgrounds, 3301 Carmel Rd., Millville. County organizers say the gathering will showcase local sports groups, hobby clubs, fitness instructors and outdoor enthusiasts through demonstrations, registrations and information on recreation opportunities across Cumberland County.
For parents trying to line up structured activities before summer begins, the event is designed as a single stop for options that can be hard to track down one by one. Food trucks will also be on site, giving families a place to linger while they compare programs and speak with organizers. Vendor and group registration is still being accepted for organizations that want to participate.
A separate Parks & Rec Day 5K will start earlier that morning at 9:30 a.m. The race listing also includes a free kids 1-mile fun run and walk at noon. County event information says the kids’ fun run is free, while the 5K requires advance registration.
Runners who sign up for the 5K will receive a shirt and finisher medal, and awards are planned for the top three overall male and female finishers, along with age-group awards. Even Kiel is listed as hosting the free fun run and the fee-based 5K.
Millville Public Schools is also helping spread the word. The district says its community-flyer page is updated monthly and broadcast to families each month, a built-in channel that puts the county event in front of local parents before the school year ends.
For organizations or residents seeking more information, Cumberland County’s Parks and Recreation office is listed at 291 Morton Avenue in Millville. The county’s contact is Melissa Hemple, Park Program Coordinator, at 856-453-2175.
