With the help of Essex County, the WPC has received several Green Acres grants to upgrade the park. Improvements so far include:
- Renovation of the historic bandstand
- Installation of a new running track in the southern section of the park
- Renovations to the field houses
- New rubberized surfaces in all playgrounds
The WPC partners with the WHNA each spring and fall in a massive park cleanup, which is done with the help of Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs, the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, the Essex County Department of Corrections, students from the Bloomfield High School, and neighbors like you.
The purpose of this site is to keep you informed of all upcoming events and news regarding the park, and allow a forum for comments, suggestions and discussion pertaining to the park and its environs.
Longer term we hope to allow for donations to be submitted on line.

I'm new to the area and I love the web-site. I'd like to get involved with the Watsessing Park Conservancy. There are some grants out there and it seems in the last few months a lot of renovations have been accomplished. Definitely shows a lot of neighborhood pride. Keep up the good work.
