New banners are up around Meadowland Park! 🌳

They celebrate some of the events and initiatives that bring the park to life all year long, including Esther’s Garden, Star Spangled South Orange, and Skate House Sessions — while also recognizing the families and local businesses that help support our work.

A warm welcome to our newest sponsor, Orange House Cafe, at 9 Village Plaza in downtown South Orange.

A big thank you as well to Dylan and Brandon from the South Orange Village Public Works team for helping our board member Whelan Mahoney get the banners installed. We’re grateful for the many hands that help make good things happen in the park.

Interested in supporting the park while gaining visibility for your family or business? PM us to learn more!

Esther's Garden in is growing and healthy! We did some weeding over the weekend and found some friends buzzing around, pollinating and keeping the ecosystem running as it should. If you'd like to help us build Phase Two of Esther's Garden with a brick dedicated to your mom (or anyone's mom), click the link below. And get out to your favorite park to explore!
