The Long Branch Parks Initiative

English | Español
What is the Long Branch Parks Initiative?
The Long Branch Parks Initiative is an effort to make comprehensive recommendations to improve the overall quality of Long Branch parks based on a thorough review of the condition, use, and the community’s experience of, and desires for, each of the ten parks in the Long Branch neighborhood.
The goal of the Initiative is to address the park, recreation, and public space needs of the Long Branch area strategically and holistically. By planning and designing Long Branch parks together, the Parks Department has opportunities to meet the varied park needs of the community using all the parks in the area. That is, if an amenity or improvement does not fit in one park, it may fit in another.
What is currently happening?
- Stay tuned for community engagement events happening in Long Branch this spring. Montgomery Parks wants to hear from you!
- Parks staff compiled input gathered from outreach events and surveys to create a preliminary design for Long Branch Local Park and Long Branch-Arliss Neighborhood Park and presented them to the community on February 2, 2023. The public input comment period on Open Town Hall ended on March 2, 2023.
- Montgomery Parks has already created designs for upgrades at some Long Branch Parks such as Long Branch-Wayne Local Park, and Long Branch-Garland Neighborhood Park.
- Staff continues to gather input for New Hampshire Estates Neighborhood Park, and Quebec Terrace Neighborhood Park.
Community Engagement:
Montgomery Parks wants your help as we plan for the future to ensure we provide the types of spaces and activities that meet your needs. We want to know what makes a particular place special for you? Staff has met with the community at various events and encouraged the community to take a survey in order to gather input for new park amenities (such as playgrounds, ballfields, basketball and tennis courts, gardens, skate parks, grills, etc.), new park activation programs and to hear what the community considers a priority for improvements for Long Branch-Arliss Neighborhood Park, Long Branch Local Park. Staff will continue to gather input regarding New Hampshire Estates Neighborhood Park, and Quebec Terrace Neighborhood Park at different events in spring 2023.
