Groundwork Elizabeth is currently underway in its design and building of Appletree Park, a pocket park located at 236 Front St. in the Elizabethport section of the City.
The park’s purpose is to give its residents a place to relax within a rapidly developing urban community. Benches and landscaping will be prominent features of this new addition to Elizabeth’s Open Space.
A rendering of the park was done for Groundwork Elizabeth by Chris Zehnder, a local architect who is partnering with Groundwork on this and other ventures.
Groundwork invites the community to “adopt a brick, adopt a park”. Two size bricks, which will be permanently engraved with a donor’s name or message, are being offered to individuals, the public, and private sector. Please look for the order forms, listed as a tab in the left hand corner of the site’s title page
