Holman, Sr.) The first project of the Lions Club of Rutherford was the Rutherford Playground. The club raised $1,200.00 for this purpose shortly after being chartered in 1922 and the first playground activity was in place that very summer at Rutherford Field (now Tamblyn Field). The Rutherford Lions ran the playground for 12 years, whereupon it was turned over to the P.T.A. in 1934, and shortly after taken over by the Borough of Rutherford.
