Celery Street Park
By Patrick & Trevor -5th Grade-Green Meadow
Celery Street Park opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes at dusk. The major streets by it are River St. and Celery St. There are picnic tables and a small playground. The Park is in it's 43rd year. It is a nice neighborhood park, a place near their homes children and parents can enjoy.
The land for this park was turned over to Township Supervisor Clarence Neal in September 1955. The area before the project began was a dumping ground. He made it a park. This project began on October 4, 1955. The larger rocks were moved. In the following spring the seeding of the lawn began. They also put in picnic tables. In June 1956, the swings were installed. Then in July 1958, they put in a baseball diamond. There used to be a lot of trees at the western point. Now almost all have died of old age, or victims of disease. It once had a lot of good children programs with arts and crafts taught by the Comstock teachers in the 1970s.
