Celebrate Maplewood Memorial Park
Saturday, October 15th
Maplewood Memorial Park has
been designated as one of New Jersey’s
Great Public Spaces by the NJ Chapter of the American Planning Association. According
to the Association, “Memorial Park effortlessly blends the use and
characteristics of a local park – where children meet and play – with high
quality attractions that draw visitors from across the tri-state region.”
The Award will be
presented on Saturday, October 15th at 2pm at the Maplewood Civic
House, 124 Dunnell Road.
All are welcome to attend.
Mayor Victor De
Luca will give a welcome and accept the Award along with his colleagues from
the Maplewood Township Committee. After additional remarks, there will be a
walking tour through Memorial Park.
The 30 minute tour
will end at the Maplewood Memorial Library with light refreshments. The Mayor
will describe the Library for the Future Initiative, a vision that integrates
the Maplewood Library with Memorial Park.
Guests are
invited to stay for a live jazz performance at 3pm, which is part of the
Library’s monthly Art and Music Reception Program.
