Brookdale Park Conservancy

The Brookdale Park Conservancy is a volunteer run, 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to working in partnership with Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, local community organizations and private citizens with the purpose of restoring and enhancing Brookdale Park's Olmsted Brothers' Master Plan while keeping our modern-day park community’s needs and long term sustainability in mind. Our Mission: PRESERVE the 121-acre Brookdale park by maintaining and improving its trails, infrastructure, ecology and landscaping so that it respects the original Olmsted design, and so that this unique Essex County resource can continue to provide natural beauty and lasting value to the residents of northern New Jersey. MAINTAIN moderate and balanced use of the park for community, family, charity, recreational, sports and other appropriate activities. PARTNER with the Essex County park system, community groups and allied organizations in support of the above objectives.
