Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00457
The Groundwork Elizabeth Outdoor Recreation Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00457) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior that would be issued as a cooperative agreement. It is tied to CFDA 15.921 and falls under the Natural Resources activity category. The opportunity is framed as technical assistance (TA) to strengthen Groundwork Elizabeth's capacity to expand equitable access to parks, outdoor recreation, and conserved natural resources in Elizabeth, New Jersey, while also positioning the organization to help other communities pursuing similar park and trail improvement efforts in partnership with NPS and its Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program.
At the local level, the project focuses on planning and on-the-ground development work connected to the Elizabeth River and the Elizabeth River Trail. A central deliverable is the development of a Natural Resource Management Plan created with active input from community stakeholders. That plan is intended to guide green infrastructure investments that improve parks and green space across Elizabeth, while also addressing environmental outcomes such as improved water quality in the Elizabeth River. Alongside the planning work, the opportunity emphasizes community-facing improvements that make the river corridor more usable and educational, including creating and implementing interpretive signage and related programs that encourage residents to use the Elizabeth River Trail and better understand the river system.
Another major objective is to establish outdoor learning spaces along the Elizabeth River, its tributaries, and its estuary. These learning areas are meant to support hands-on education and community engagement, linking recreation with stewardship and giving residents structured ways to participate in restoration and care of the river environment. In practice, this includes activities that connect people to the waterway through guided interpretation, programming, and place-based learning experiences that can build long-term community investment in the river corridor.
Beyond Elizabeth, the partnership is also designed to extend Groundwork Elizabeth's role as a peer support and technical resource for other communities. Through coordination with RTCA and the National Park Service, Groundwork Elizabeth would assist additional places working to improve access to parks, green space, and outdoor recreation, sharing lessons learned, approaches, and tools developed through the Elizabeth-based work.
