County says Rahway River Park playground will be restored with Green Acres grant
Summary
The Department of Parks and Recreation told commissioners a Green Acres grant will fund restoration and reimagining of the existing playground at Rahway River Park; the item appears as resolution No. 5 on the agenda.
The Union County Department of Parks and Recreation told the Board of County Commissioners that a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Green Acres program will fund restoration of the existing playground at Rahway River Park.
When asked whether the resolution referred to a new playground or the existing one, the department's director said, "Yes. It does. That playground will be, restored, rehabilitated, and reimagined. And it is in conjunction with a grant that was received from the state through the Green Acres program." The item is listed as resolution No. 5 on the department's agenda.
The director described the work as restoration and rehabilitation of the existing playground; no contract awards, bid amounts, or construction schedules were presented during the agenda-setting session. Commissioners did not vote on the resolution at this meeting; it was introduced as part of the department's set of agenda items for the regular meeting.
County staff said the project leverages state grant funding; additional details, including construction management, timelines and funding breakdowns, are expected to be provided when the item returns for formal action.
