Folk Memorial Park is under threat. The City of Newark is considering a proposal to lease part of the park to Newark Charter School for the construction of baseball and softball fields—a project that would destroy forests, wetlands, and vital wildlife habitats.

This website is dedicated to raising awareness, organizing community action, and providing updates on efforts to stop this unnecessary destruction. Folk Park is a public green space that benefits everyone—not just a select few. Its trees help clean the air, reduce flooding, and provide a home for wildlife, and once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Together, we can protect Folk Memorial Park for future generations. Join the movement and take action today!
