The Recreation Department offers various programs geared towards adults! 

Adult Art Enrichment

Artists of all levels ages 18+ are invited to join our group of art curious as well as committed artists. We work in a nurturing and supportive environment sharing ideas, knowledge and encouragement to help further your exploration of art. Critiques amongst the group are helpful and meaningful. We also share information about upcoming exhibitions and opportunities in the field. Art materials are available to use. Class will take place on November 6 from 7pm-9pm at the DeHart Community Center.

Goat Yoga

Open to Maplewood & South Orange residents. Get your daily dose of healthy yoga vibes and top that off with an up-close-and-personal meeting with some goat friends. These goats may join you in your postures sometimes taking a moment to strike a pose on your back. Maplewood Recreation’s Goat Yoga is instructed by a certified yoga instructor and will introduce you to the cutest goats around. The Vinyasa yoga session lasts about one hour, followed by a few minutes of photos with the goats. Please be sure to bring your own yoga mat and a water source that has a cap. Space is limited, and must be purchased in advance.
