HELP! LIBRARY SQUARE PARK in Asbury Park.

HELP! HELP!

Library Square Park in Asbury Park needs more help. Why?

A few years ago, a group of concerned citizens finally got help to restore Library Sqaure Park in Asbury Park New Jersey. A fountain was restored. Flowers and Trees planted. A sprinkler system was installed. Lights around the fountain.

The beginnning of the restoration took place while the Boardwalk Area Redevelopment dragged along. The park is between Asbury Ave and 1st Ave with the Asbury Park Library across Grand Avenue. Someday, the old, crumbling Metropolitan Hotel east of the park will be gone and replaced by condos.

After all the hard work, vandals have begun to destroy what was replaced after all these years. Lights broken. Plants dug up. Sprinklers destroyed.

Help is needed to catch the ones responsible and to restore the damage. In an effort to curb further damage, it has been suggested cameras be installed to monitor the park around the clock. The problem is, funds would be needed to pay for this.

If anyone wishes to contribute time or funds to this cause, drop me a note
