The town of Morristown is developing a Master Plan for Burnham Park put together by Maser Consulting Engineering with input from Morristown officials, the Shade Tree Commission, BPA, other stakeholders and the public at large. A draft is being refined for presentation at a public meeting in the Park in the Spring of 2022. 

Public Input

In 2020, the Town of Morristown began formation of a Burnham Park Master Plan, a guidance document for Park maintenance over a 2 to 10 year period depending on the recommendations. Community meetings were held outside in the Park in the fall of 2020 to give stakeholder groups the opportunity to provide input. Attendees included representatives from Morristown and Shade Tree Commission, the BPA, the Engineer from Maser Consulting - the firm drafting the Plan - the Alexander Hamilton Neighborhood Association, Smith Design - providing Adopt the Park stewardship, and others. The Master Plan will be presented with the opportunity for comment at public hearings in 2021.
