Trenton, NJ - On Friday, August 23 at 10:00 A.M. at the Trenton Marine Center, 1501 Lamberton Road, Mayor W. Reed Gusciora and Department of Recreation Director Paul Harris will announce the official opening of the new Marine Terminal Playground. This grand opening marks a significant milestone in the City's ongoing efforts to enhance recreational facilities and provide quality outdoor spaces for Trentonians and visitors.
The Marine Terminal Playground project was made possible through the acquisition of a $146,000.00 grant from the DCA Local Recreational Improvement Grant, awarded over two years. These funds, combined with an additional $70,000 provided by the City of Trenton, were utilized to construct the playground, develop and install historic interpretive signage, and upgrade park amenities including benches, picnic tables, grills, and the restroom facility.
Additionally, Parks & Recreation will continue the restoration of the park by dedicating supplementary funds for a new bathroom roof and doors to be followed up with a complete interior renovation.
Tours of the new playground and upgraded facilities as well as opportunities for photos, videos, and interviews will also be available.
