The City of Newark Open Space & Recreation Trust Fund would create a dedicated fund to acquire, develop and maintain parks, neighborhood playgrounds, playing fields for youth sports, and other greenspaces throughout the City. It would be funded through a levy of 1-cent per $100 of assessed real property value that will generate an estimated $1.1 million each year. The funds can only be spent for these purposes and full public disclosure of all spending would be required.
