Memberships and donations to the Washington Crossing Park Association are tax deductible.
The WCPA recently distributed a survey which received 205 responses. To summarize its findings:
• The NJ side of the Delaware should be as lovely as the PA side. Some NJ residents are embarrassed by the comparison.
• Park facilities, groves, walls, paths, and meadows are in poor condition. NJ should dedicate more funding and resources to Park maintenance.
• The park is overrun with non-native invasive plants that have pushed out native plants. It appears that little is being done to improve the situation.
• The Park should be a showcase of New Jersey's role in the Revolution.
The Park is embarking upon a once-in-a-generation restoration of roads, structures and amenities. Email us with any questions…we’re happy to discuss. Or click here to learn about the new Visitors Museum.
