The Township of Montclair’s annual Veterans’ Day of Service will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. at the Edgemont Memorial Park, according to a statement by the town. The public is invited to join township officials, veterans organizations and other civic groups in paying homage to the veterans of all of the wars of the United States.

The park is surrounded by roads on three sides and is also located close to the Edgemont Elementary School. In one side of the park there is a pond with fountains, with water streaming into the pond from Toney’s Brook. The pond is artificial, created by a dam, and a children’s playground is also located in the park.
