Located at Lyons and Leslie Streets in the South Ward section of Newark, St. Peter’s Park is the first of the City’s Park Initiative Project to be completed for the City of Newark. We began design on February 4, 2008, kicked off construction on May 23 and completed the project on July 7, 2008.
The renovations and upgrades included:

• A new Little League certified synthetic turf Baseball Field
• New Children’s Playground area
• Renovated Swimming Pool area
• New Basketball court surfaces
• Prominent park entry features

The Newark Parks Initiative Project is part of the transformation and revitalization of the City of Newark.
