PARSIPPANY — This year’s Lake Parsippany Open House is fixing to become a huge splash with several fun activities. Their annual community-wide flea market/garage sale, an increased role for the Girl and Boy Scouts, a fishing contest, the Dragon Boat Rowing Team, and much more.

A community-wide flea market will be held on the grass outside the fenced-in beach area. There will be vendors selling their wares. But, you can also set-up a table and make a few bucks getting rid of the clutter around the house. Tables are $15.00 until May 15, then they go up to $20.00. Anyone with questions can contact Bill at lppres@hotmail.com.
There will be contests for kids run by the scouts. Let them try their hands at several carnival style games and win some fun prizes. Boy Scouts will be ceremonially raising and lowering the flag. Plus, Girl Scouts will be making the little ones look funny with creative face painting!
The Fishing Club is sponsoring a fishing contest. The largest fish caught that day wins a prize. However, you must register to enter. Stop by their table under the pavilion.
The Book Club is selling used books. The Swim Team is serving up the morning coffee and bagels while the Men’s Club grills up the burgers and dogs. The lifeguards will give a free ice pop to anyone bringing food for the community food pantry.
A bunch of community groups and government services will be available to provide helpful tips on bicycle and pedestrian safety, fire safety, clean storm water and keeping the lake’s ecosystem healthy to name a few.
This is in addition to the swimming, DJ, raffles, horseshoes, pick-up volleyball, fire and rescue trucks, dragon boat races and much, much more!
Open House is also the last chance to purchase your LPPOA membership at the discounted rates. In comparing the LPPOA membership costs to many of the other lake and pool memberships in the area, they are one of the best deals for the cost.
