Essex County Park Gets Major Upgrade | Newark News

Essex County’s Riverfront Park in Newark just got a major makeover with a $7 million upgrade—complete with a brand-new playground, synthetic turf baseball field, and refreshed courts. Opened in 2012, this was the first big renovation in years, funded by a $1.6M contract, state grants, and county capital funds. Locals are thrilled—this park is more than recreation; it’s a vital community hub where families connect and kids play. New climbing structures, rubberized surfaces, updated fencing, and fresh benches make it safer and more inviting. Managed by the county’s Department of Public Works, the project proves that investing in green space pays off in community well-being.
