New Providence Residents Invited to Centennial Park Celebration

Tenth Anniversary celebration kicks off this Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

The Borough of New Providence is proud to be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the dedication of Centennial Park. 

This special project was conceived and created solely by volunteers in an effort to develop a community meeting place. It was truly a labor of love. 

Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Centennial Park evolved into a place of remembrance of the victims of the terrorist attacks on our country. Today, our beautiful park is used for special events, concerts, shows, and other community gatherings. 
 
Centennial Park also stands as a testament to what people can accomplish when they work together toward a common goal.
