NEWARK, NJ-- Mayor Cory A. Booker, former New York Giants football star, NBC journalist, and Chairman of Tiki Ventures Tiki Barber, and Newark dignitaries cut the ribbon to re-open the newly-renovated Boys’ Park, at Sussex Avenue and Duryea Street, in Newark’s Central Ward yesterday.
The 1.291-acre park underwent a $1.2 million restoration, with the City bearing $500,000 of the cost, and the remainder by GreenSpaces. The designer is Neglia Engineering of Lyndhurst. Construction Manager is Mast Construction, and Zenith Construction Services is the contractor. The renovation is part of a $3.7 million project to renovate three parks in the same neighborhood, with GreenSpaces bearing $1.5 million of the overall costs. The other two are nearby First Street Park and Thomas Silk Park. The City is working with GreenSpaces to renovate 11 municipal parks.
The re-opened Boys’ Park will offer will have a multi-purpose field, basketball court, bocce ball courts, and new state-of-the-art playground equipment thanks to a partnership the City has with former New York Giants star Tiki Barber, a long-time supporter of Newark’s transformation, and the Mayor’s historic rehabilitation of all City parks.
