Grover Cleveland Park Conservancy

Founded in 2001, the Grover Cleveland Park Conservancy was established by a dedicated group of community members to ensure that both current and future visitors can fully enjoy the park’s natural beauty and recreational offerings.

Nestled among the towns of Essex Fells, Caldwell, and West Caldwell, Grover Cleveland Park spans 41.5 acres and was designed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1913. The park offers a perfect balance of tranquility and activity, featuring rolling hills, winding paths, woodlands, ponds, and streams. It also boasts open fields, a playground, Bocce courts, Horseshoe pits, a baseball field, and newly added Pickleball and Tennis courts. The Conservancy is committed to preserving these natural landscapes, ensuring they remain accessible and enjoyable for all.

The Conservancy partners with the Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs to advocate for the park’s restoration, maintenance, and capital improvements. To supplement county funding, the organization hosts annual fundraising events. These initiatives support ongoing enhancements, maintenance, and special projects, which contribute to the park’s sustainability and success.
