The centerpiece of the first county park system in America located in the renaissance cities of Newark & Belleville, Essex County Branch Brook Park now enjoys new life. The Branch Brook Park Alliance has restored the park’s historic design and are refreshing it for today’s lively use. Projects already completed by the partnership are new ball fields, extensive cherry tree plantings and restoration of historic park sites set the stage for complete renewal.
