The Trust for Public Land (TPL), in collaboration with a number of other organizations, has created several new parks and playgrounds in Newark. TPL's efforts have engaged the community by weaving a system of parks and common spaces throughout the city, linking people and neighborhoods by encouraging local participation.

The project at Nat Turner Park is part of The Trust for Public Land's Parks for People-Newark. The Newark based program was launched to address the lack of outdoor recreational space in Newark's neighborhoods.
