Message from the Mayor

Liberty Park Presentation

On the evening of September 13th, 2018 the Borough Council hosted a meeting in the gymnasium to have Landscape Architect Carter van Dyke give a presentation with respect to Liberty Park.

The format was straight forward. In a power point presentation, Mr. van Dyke outlined some of the issues that the park presently has without suggesting how they might be remedied. Some of the items mentioned were working with the constraints imposed by the NJDEP, lack of cohesiveness in layout and planning, poor lighting, poor water quality, and several others.

He introduced Dr. Stephen Sousa of Princeton Hydro who will be the water expert engaged to clean the water. Dr. Sousa has worked with the borough before and is a recognized expert in the field of pond maintenance and water quality.

The presentation was then opened to the audience of about 40 people and each was asked to name something about the park that concerned them. After everyone had a chance to comment, the format was changed and each person was asked to name something that they wish to be considered or included in a park renovation. All of these comments were written on large sheets of paper.
