About
Our Mission
Founded in 2007, the Cadwalader Park Alliance (“the Alliance”) is a registered 501 (c)(3) that works to build awareness, excitement and support for the City of Trenton’s historic Cadwalader Park). The Alliance is committed to working collaboratively with the city to help maintain, promote and enhance the park for the benefit and use of the community.
Towards these ends, primary objectives of the Alliance include:
(1) Developing and promoting programs, events and activities for the recreational, social, educational, cultural and environmental benefits of the community,
(2) Serving as a resource to the city in the visioning, planning and execution of park maintenance and capital improvement projects, and
(3) Increasing support of the park – financial or otherwise – through public-private/corporate/foundation and intergovernmental partnerships as well as volunteer initiatives.
