Scalora Landscaping voluntarily spruced up the park by cutting
branches, trimming hedges and cutting the grass. They will continue to
maintain the park for free as a way to give back to the community.
The Academy Heights Neighborhood Association repaired and painted
the park’s wooden animals, PSE&G repaired the gas lamps and SOVCA
added bistro lights. In addition, the park fountain got a fresh coat of paint.

Spruced Up Spiotta Park Looking Good and Ready for the Community

As most of you know, South Orange’s Spiotta Park provides a sitting and relaxation area in the middle of busy South Orange Village. Today the unveiling of the new spruced up Spiotta Park was revealed. With musical equipment, toy animals, grass seeding and more were updated, painted and put back in order. In addition the park has a brand new mural produce by the artist Dan Fenelon. It’s a gorgeous community mural that is fun to look at and Spiotta Park is much better looking than last year. of course I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that we start our Downtown After Sundown Live Music Concerts this weekend and Spiotta Park is ready for the music and attendees. We recommend you tell your friends and come on out.
