New London Recreation Park Improvement Fund
Build the next
chapter of our park.

Support park improvementsAfter nearly 30 years of use, the current playground is ready for replacement.
Why your donation matters
A shared place.
A shared investment.
New London Recreation Park is used by families, children, teams, community groups, and visitors throughout the year. Keeping it in good condition takes ongoing work, and several areas of the park are now in need of major improvement.
The playground is the biggest priority. The existing playground has been in service for nearly 30 years. Replacing it would give local children a modern, dependable place to play and improve one of the most heavily used family areas in the park.
Donations to the New London Park Improvement Fund help move these projects forward. Whether a contribution comes from an individual, family, local business, or organization, the goal is simple: put those resources back into the park and make it better for the people who use it.

One park.
Several important needs.
The playground is at the center of the current improvement effort. The Dairy Bar, roads, parking areas, and other public-use spaces also need continued care.
