National Night Out Returns To Haddon Twp. With Night Of Family Fun

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — National Night Out is coming up, and Haddon Township will be among thousands of communities celebrating.

This year's event — part of a national campaign to improve relationships between residents and law enforcement — takes place at Audubon Park Soccer Field (corner of A and B roads) from 5-8:30 p.m Tuesday.

National Night Out is an annual campaign designed to enhance police-community relations during a night of family fun. Thousands of communities celebrate it each year on the first Tuesday of August.

Haddon Township police also provide local law enforcement for Audubon Park, so the local event serves both communities.

There will be burgers and hot dogs, a live DJ and other amusements — plus a home run derby, K-9 demonstrations, and opportunities to learn more about public safety.

"This free, family-friendly event is a great opportunity to meet your local officers, connect with your neighbors, and enjoy a night out in support of safer, stronger communities," Haddon Township police said in the event posting.
