Jesse Allen Park

Newark | New Jersey

What We Did
Worked with the community—including players from the New York Jets and the local Boys and Girls Club—to design a public green space that best serves their needs.

Our Goal
Renovate a city park and honor the legacy of Jesse Allen, a community organizer and city council member who worked for racial justice in Newark.
