Manville often has problems with flooding, due to its location near the Raritan River and Millstone River. In 1999 when Hurricane Floyd hit, some residents lost their homes due to extreme flooding, and many had to be rescued by helicopter.
Manville has a bowling alley on East Camplain Road called Ten Pin Lanes. There is also a movie theater on North Main Street called Reading Cinemas. It is known locally for having later show times than movie theaters in the surrounding towns.
