FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT support

AS AN ESSEX COUNTY TAX PAYER, WHY SHOULD I GIVE MORE MONEY TO THE PARK?

We are occasionally asked by local residents why they should provide additional resources to a public park that their tax dollars are supporting. The answer is simple. While a small portion of your taxes enable Essex County to maintain the basic needs of the park (lawn mowing, leaf collection, facility maintenance) and to fund capital projects (park wide lighting improvements, new playground construction and bathroom renovations), the most notable public parks around the world have achieved their status in thanks to additional support from individuals, local businesses and granting institutions. By donating to the Brookdale Park Conservancy, you are helping make our beloved park extraordinary.

A public park can only truly thrive when community members like you, are willing to offer up time and/or donations to non-profit organizations like ours. Think of us as a booster club or a PTA - we pick up where tax dollars leave off, ensuring that our park becomes the absolute best it can possibly be today and for future generations.

I'd like to attend a Meeting to listen in and find out more, when do you hold them?
