Mulberry Commons

Mulberry Commons is a 3-acre urban park located in downtown Newark, New Jersey. Opened in 2019, the park serves as a central public space connecting several key areas of the city, including the Prudential Center arena, Newark Penn Station, and the Ironbound neighborhood.

The park features a mix of green spaces and hardscaped areas designed for various activities and events. Its layout includes open lawns, paved walkways, and seating areas that provide places for relaxation and social gathering. The park's design incorporates modern urban landscaping elements, with trees and plantings that offer shade and natural beauty within the city environment.

One of the park's notable features is its children's play area, which includes climbing structures and interactive elements. The park also has a water feature in the form of a splash pad, providing a refreshing spot for visitors during warmer months.

Mulberry Commons serves as a venue for community events and programming, supporting Newark's cultural and social life. Its central location makes it a popular spot for both residents and visitors to the city, offering a green oasis amidst the urban landscape.

Future plans for Mulberry Commons include the development of a pedestrian bridge that will extend the park over the train tracks, further connecting it to other parts of Newark and enhancing accessibility.
