Dedicated to the maintenance, restoration and enhancement of the Grover Cleveland Park.
The Grover Cleveland Park Conservancy has worked diligently with the Essex County Park System since 2001 to improve the conditions of the Grover Cleveland Park. Our initial concern was safety. With this in mind, the playground was replaced in 2003 since the old one did not meet safety standards. In 2004, the tennis courts and Children’s House next to the playground were refurbished. New benches, trash receptacles, and light stanchions were installed throughout the park. In 2006, the Pond House was renovated and the ball field was upgraded to include team and spectator benches and wing fences to protect spectators from foul balls. In 2006, 100 dead and dangerous trees were pruned or removed. In 2011, the brook bed, wall, weir and dam were repaired. Fourteen trees were planted through the park and general maintenance and repair are kept in check.
The GCPC created events to bring the community into the park and is interested in new ideas for future events. The GCPC offered a Halloween Parade, Arbor Day events, Playground Opening, and May Fest. Our goal is to provide educational demonstrations and fun for the whole family. The GCPC supports two Essex County events as well – a summer concert in the park and the fishing derby every spring.
All of what the GCPC does is only possible through donations from volunteers and members. Future accomplishments depend on the interest of new volunteers.
