On Saturday, June 15, Newark Riverfront Revival was happy to host a church youth group to help think of ways to activate the soon-to-open second segment of riverfront park.
The group brainstormed ideas for the Orange Party on August 3 to celebrate the park’s opening.
We met and interviewed one of the construction supervisors, a graduate of West Side High School.
At the east end of Essex County Riverfront Park, we spoke with Kevin Sampson, the lead artist on “Song of the Passaic,” the mural-in-progress overlooking the park by Newark Murals.
