Our Labyrinth Is GROWING! |
|
Spring is HERE! We need volunteers to help us create a Living Green Wall to separate the Labyrinth from the basketball courts. We now have a beautiful garden plan for our Labyrinth in Venella Park prepared by a landscaping professional. |
We will plant dozens of trees, bushes, and flowers to make this a sanctuary for birds, bees, and butterflies. We aim to transform this space into one of beauty, serenity, spirituality and peacefulness.
Labyrinths have been in use for 4,000 years and every religion has ceremonies related to it.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Our Labyrinth is
“Your Oasis of Peace in an Unpeaceful World” |

Location: David L. Venella Memorial Park in Runnemede, NJ 08078

Never shoveled his walk when snowed on. Why, if I just wait
And procrastinate, The sun will get the job done.

MYTH: Litter control is not important.
FACT: Litter may not be the most dramatic or exciting of the many problems that threaten the quality of our environment, but it is a problem which affects everyone in the community.
MYTH: Only "certain types” of people litter.
FACT: "Litterbugs" can be found among people of every age, sex, race and ethnic origin, at every level of society and in all geographic locations.
MYTH: Littering creates jobs.
FACT: LITTER COSTS MONEY. New Jersey taxpayers pay millions of dollars annually for roadside cleanup.
MYTH: No one notices litter.
FACT: LITTER DESTROYS THE BEAUTY OF A COMMUNITY. Tourism is an important part of New Jersey's economy. People come from all over the world to see the beauty of our countryside, towns and cities. When litter mars their enjoyment, New Jersey loses valuable tourist dollars.
MYTH: Litter doesn’t hurt anyone.
FACT: Litter is a safety hazard. Litter is a breeding ground for fire and disease. FACT: Litter impacts car insurance rates because thousands of auto accidents are litter-related. FACT: Ingesting litter causes injury or death to thousands of pets, wild and farm animals. FACT: Litter is a breeding ground for rats and disease-causing bacteria.
MYTH: Litter doesn’t affect the economy.
FACT: Litter discourages economic development because it impacts real estate values. Good stores and important businesses will not locate in a community which lacks the pride to effectively control litter.
