Weequahic Park Sports Authority Conservancy Hosts Community Beautification Event at Dividend Hill to Support Park Revitalization Efforts 

Newark, NJ – November 14, 2024 –


The Weequahic Park Sports Authority Conservancy (WPSAC) is excited to announce its next community beautification event at Dividend Hill, a key part of the ongoing efforts to revitalize and restore Weequahic Park as a premier urban-suburban oasis.


The event will take place on Saturday, November 16th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Dividend Hill, located at the northern section of Weequahic Park (enter the park on Lehigh & Elizabeth Avenue). 


This community-driven initiative invites local residents, volunteers, and park enthusiasts to come together and participate in cleaning, landscaping, and improving the aesthetics of Dividend Hill. This effort is part of a broader, long-term project aimed at restoring the park's natural beauty, improving access for all, and enhancing the quality of life for the surrounding community. 


"We are thrilled to invite our neighbors and friends to this event," said Douglas Freeman, President of the Weequahic Park Sports Authority. "Weequahic Park has always been a vital green space for the County of Essex, Newark, and through projects like the Dividend Hill beautification, we are making tangible progress in turning it into an urban-suburban oasis that everyone can enjoy." 


In addition to general beautification, the event will further highlight the need for upgrades i.e. plantings of new greenery, continuous litter clean-up, and the installation of new park features that will restore the area’s vibrancy. Volunteers will be provided with clean up tools, gloves, and light refreshments, and are encouraged to bring their family and friends. 


Since its inception, the WPSA has spearheaded multiple initiatives aimed at revitalizing Weequahic Park, including trail improvements, playground renovations, provide recreational opportunities/stewardship/mentorship opportunities, and enhanced recreational facilities. The ongoing commitment to revitalizing this historic park ensures that it remains a cherished gathering space for generations to come. 


"We’re committed to enhancing the park's appeal and accessibility to both residents and visitors," said Douglas Freeman. "This is just one of many upcoming initiatives designed to keep Weequahic Park a cornerstone of our community." 

Residents and volunteers are encouraged to RSVP for the event through the Weequahic Park Sports Authority Conservancy website at www.weequahicpark.com or by contacting the office directly.
