On June 15, the Inlet Community Development Corporation (CDC) and Atlantic Cape Community College celebrated the grand opening of the Fisherman’s Park Community Garden in Atlantic City with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This new garden, created in collaboration with local organizations and community members, will provide free fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers to the community. The event featured live music, free plants, and a complimentary lunch provided by Kelsey’s. The project exemplifies a successful community effort, transforming an under-utilized part of the park into a vibrant, sustainable space
- Overview
The Inlet Community Development Corporation (CDC) has taken a leadership role in the Fisherman’s Park Community Garden project, collaborating with key partners to revitalize Fisherman’s Park.
This community-driven initiative involves students from the Atlantic City Institute of Technology (ACIT), who have actively contributed to a comprehensive improvement plan. The plan focuses on landscaping and site enhancements, featuring the strategic placement of raised flower beds and the construction of a storage shed within the park.
In a strategic partnership with the First Ward Civic Association, ACIT, NJ Fish & Wildlife, and with generous sponsorship from Ørsted, Inlet CDC has assumed ownership of the project. Their pivotal role includes finalizing the conceptualized plan and overseeing the execution of park improvements, with a targeted completion date set for 2024.
