Protecting and Advancing Essex County Branch Brook Park
Branch Brook Park Alliance is the nonprofit conservancy dedicated to the care, preservation, and public enjoyment of Essex County Branch Brook Park in Newark and Belleville, New Jersey. In partnership with Essex County, we support this 360-acre Olmsted-designed landscape through stewardship, volunteer engagement, free community programs, capital improvements, and the celebrated cherry blossom season.
We champion a masterwork of landscape architecture, conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. and designed by the Olmsted Brothers. The centerpiece of the first county park system in America located in the renaissance cities of Newark & Belleville, Essex County Branch Brook Park now enjoys new life. Together with a community of friends, we restored the park’s historic design and are refreshing it for today's lively use.
Branch Brook Park Alliance is a public/private partnership with Essex County and theDepartment of Parks Recreation and Cultural Affairs.
