Sports
Recreational sports are offered through The Totowa Police Athletic League (P.A.L.), a volunteer organization that offers several sports to the children of Totowa from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. Established in 1952, the P.A.L. strives to provide children throughout the borough with the fellowship of sports. These sports include baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, football, hockey, and cheerleading. Although the Totowa P.A.L. is independent from the Borough of Totowa, it uses fields and facilities owned by the municipality. Meetings, registrations, and events are held at the P.A.L. building, built in 1963 and located on Chamberlain Ave.
In 1961-62, the New York Gladiators of the ill-fated National Bowling League rolled its home matches at "Gladiator Arena", a converted movie theater in Totowa.
