The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) was awarded a $1,419,000 Project Grant from the National Park Service's Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) to replace and enhance eleven playgrounds across nine state parks in northern New Jersey. The award, issued on October 1, 2022, will support improvements to playground facilities at High Point State Park, Hopatcong State Park, Jenny Jump State Forest, Ringwood State Park, Stephens State Park, Stokes State Park, Swartswood State Park, Waywayanda State Park, and Worthington State Park through September 30, 2025. The project aims to improve safety and accessibility for youth visitors to these parks, consistent with goals of the federal grant program to support development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities.
