A new master plan for Memorial Park was made public
last night, after a year of research and input from the community and
the Maplewood Historic Preservation Commission.
Virginia Kurshan, Chair of Maplewood Historic Preservation Commission,
called the report "comprehensive" and said it will be “very useful to
the governing body."
The recommendations include making better use of the space behind the
library by opening up the area and possibly having a more interactive
experience with the park. They also recommended that the area by the
train station have the landscape restored to the original design of the
Olmstead Brothers plan from 1922.
Other suggestions include forming a park advocacy group to help raise
awareness of the park, spearhead fundraising, increase community
support; and build a website. The group would work with the township and
historical committee to maintain and guide the future direction of the
park.
