Green Acres Success Stories

Fire Fighters Park Development, Union Beach Borough, Monmouth County

 

Union Beach Borough provided new recreational facilities to the Fire Fighters’ Park using Green Acres grant funding. The site, located on the Raritan Bay, offers a dramatic view over the water to the Manhattan skyline. A gazebo, a play area with swings and safety surface, new paths, park amenities (benches, fountains, etc.) and landscaping with native plants were included in this project.
