River Vale Living
 Since River Vale mainly consists of families, the most popular free-time activities involve youth sports, community events and civic groups. Several independent youth sports organizations keep the kids fit and active. Weekends are busy at the local parks and schools, which host baseball, softball, soccer and basketball games. Parents can get their exercise with a round of golf at Edgewood Country or Bergen Hills Country Club. Additionally, nearby lakes and the Wood Dale County Park have a variety of recreational facilities.
The Bergen Hills Country Club has been a local landmark for more than 75 years. The facility opened in 1931 and enjoyed many years of popularity among the biggest names in golf and entertainment. Today, the public facility enjoys a more down-to-earth atmosphere, where locals can practice their skill on a classically designed course. The Edgewood Country Club is a private facility with a scenic appeal. Edgewood offers golfers the luxury of choice, along with the challenge of tight play. The club’s three nine-hole courses can be played in three 18-hole combinations: white/red, red/blue and blue/white. The 18-hole “Valley Brook” course at the Valley Brook Golf Club facility features 6,287 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. Designed by William Boswell, ASGCA, Valley Brook opened in 1962. This course has tight fairways and fast greens. It has recently upgraded its facilities including a new driving range, tees, greens, fairways and an irrigation system. To accommodate these features, a brand new clubhouse has been added and memberships will soon be available. River Vale residents also enjoy community events as an opportunity to get together with their neighbors. Seasonal celebrations, parades and events are scheduled throughout year, offering fun activities for all ages. The annual Easter egg hunt and fall Octoberfest are particularly popular. |
