open space committee meeting1 — About 50 residents around the area planned for Catalpa Park appeared at the Sept. 16 Open Space Advisory Committee meeting to express their displeasure with the idea.

Faced with public backlash over plans for Middlebush Park and the proposed Catalpa Park, the township’s Open Space Advisory Committee on Sept. 16 voted to recommend a one-year moratorium on new township-financed park development.

Although the resolution passed by the committee references parks, the original motion was made in the context of athletic fields paid for by the township’s Open Space Trust Fund.
