CLARK, NJ — The Union County Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Parks and Recreation are hosting a Touch-A-Truck Event on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Oak Ridge Park, located on 136 Oak Ridge Road in Clark.

"As our children go back to school and we resume our carpooling and parent-teacher meetings, organizing family outings takes some thoughtful planning and a touch of creativity," said Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados. "The Touch-a-Truck event in Union County promises an exciting and memorable experience for the whole family. Join us for a perfect autumn day, where you can explore fire trucks, check out police cruisers, and enjoy a hayride through the park. Let's create new memories together, and I look forward to seeing you there."

The Union County Touch-A-Truck event is the ultimate hands-on experience. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of vehicles, including those from the Union County Departments of Public Safety, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation. Additionally, guests will be able to hop on a hayride across the park.

Food trucks will be on-site with plenty of food, drinks and snacks available for purchase to all guests. Admission is free for all.
