Maplewood Memorial Park

Ensuring the legacy of our historic park and looking toward the future in Maplewood, New Jersey.

The Maplewood Memorial Park Conservancy is a volunteer, non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization established in 2017. It works in public-private partnership with the Township of Maplewood in developing long-term plans and caring for, restoring, and improving our historic local gem, Memorial Park, which is a Maplewood landmark and is listed in the State and National Register of Historic Places. The park, a twenty-five acre oasis in the center, and at the heart, of town, was designed in the early twentieth century by the prominent landscape architects Brinley and Holbrook and the Olmsted Brothers firm.

A popular community gathering space and home to events such as Maplewoodstock and the Fourth of July celebration, the park invites both passive and active recreation, with ballfields, courts, and an amphitheater, as well as a splendid landscape designed in the picturesque style, with broad greenswards, copses of trees and shrubs, a pond, and rustic bridges over a channelized river.

The Conservancy develops long-term master plans, designs and oversees landscape projects, hosts engaging events, and seeks funding sources to ensure our beloved park continues to serve the many and varied needs of our community. For more about our initiatives and mission, see our About section.

Membership and donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Painters in the Park rescheduled for the rain date, Sunday, May 4, 11 am to 3 pm
