Union County seeks Green Acres grant to improve Wheeler Park sprayground
Summary
The Open Space Trust Fund reported a resolution to apply for a New Jersey Green Acres grant to make improvements at Wheeler Park sprayground, including fencing upgrades, shade structures, resurfacing and a small concession stand.
The Union County Open Space Trust Fund is seeking permission to apply for a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres grant to fund improvements at the Wheeler Park sprayground.
Administrator Durbin Drake told the board the grant application would target a package of improvements: upgraded fencing, shade structures for staff and patrons, partial resurfacing and a small concession stand to serve park users. The administrator said the funds would support improvements to the sprayground and listed those elements as part of the trust fund’s single agenda item.
Commissioners asked for specifics and the administrator described the types of upgrades the county would request in the Green Acres application. The item was presented as a single resolution for the Open Space Trust Fund; no formal vote was recorded during the agenda‑setting meeting.
