Clement Morgan Park and Pine Street Park Renovations
What’s Happening Now
Construction at Clement G. Morgan Park is substantially complete, and the city’s contractor has re-opened the park for public use. Please enjoy the park, but be aware that construction workers may return from time to time over the coming weeks to complete additional tasks.
Construction at the Anthony Paolillo Tot Lot on Pine Street is underway, with installation of the new play equipment, furniture and surfacing. Updates on this construction process will continue to be posted while work is ongoing. This work is expected to be complete by the spring, but the schedule may vary depending on weather and site conditions over the coming months.
About the Project
Renovations to Clement G. Morgan Park will include replacement of all the playground equipment as well as the “tot play” and waterplay area at Pine Street, upgrades to pathways and lighting, new seating and furniture, additional grass, trees, and other plantings, new signage, an emergency call box and a community posting board.
The design for the park was completed in October 2008 with participation and feedback from community members. You can view the final design plan along with example images of park equipment and features through the links below. These files are in PDF format and require use of the free Adobe Acrobat viewer.

Some of the features of the design include:
- New play equipment for school-age children (5-12 years old) at a new location in the park along Pine Street. Community members felt that on the whole, it would be preferable to have the playground separated from basketball court activity and closer to the tot lot, Margaret Fuller House and Boys & Girls Club.
- New play equipment for toddlers (under 5 years old) and upgraded water play equipment at Anthony Paolillo Tot Lot on Pine Street.
- Additional lighting and a reconfiguration of pathways to improve visibility.
- Reduction of pavement, addition of green space and plantings.
- New benches and picnic tables throughout the park.
- A new accessible drinking fountain, emergency phone, and community posting board.
- New signage and decorative features at the park entrances.
- A sitting area for basketball court players and spectators.
- Basketball court lighting to allow for evening use until 9:30pm daily, April through October. The lighting is designed to minimize “spillover” effects onto adjacent properties and will be timed to turn off after hours.
- Crosswalks and signage installed at the intersection of Pine and Eaton Streets.
