Burnham Park Association

​​The Burnham Park Association is a nonprofit neighborhood association in Morristown and Morris Township founded in 1948 which is dedicated to building and sustaining a healthy and vibrant neighborhood. The BPA stays informed about environmental concerns, local business and events, and health and safety issues that impact the community; and advises members on relevant activity in Morristown and Morris Township.

​The BPA serves as the steward of Burnham Park, Jones Woods and surrounding areas and is dedicated to preserving and protecting environmentally sensitive lands, viewsheds as well as critical natural and historic resources. It collaborates with other organizations on various projects and events, and works to educate area citizens, promoting community engagement with the goal of preserving a beautiful area for the enjoyment and benefit of future generations. ​

Not many all-volunteer, grassroots neighborhood associations can sustain continuous participation for 75 years! The Burnham Park Association, active since its founding in 1948, invites the public to join us for the kick off anniversary celebration: a free program spotlighting local history through the lens of the BPA held in the Meeting Room of the Morristown /Morris Township Library on Wednesday, April 19 from 6:30pm-8:45pm .

We thank the Library for generously providing the month-long exhibit space and evening celebration room as a co-sponsor of this historic community event.

The event is free but registration is required.
