Neglia has been awarded Honorable Mention in the 2025 New Jersey Society of Municipal Engineers (NJSME) Project of the Year Awards! Pictured is Scott Loverich, PE, CME served as the lead engineer on this project and worked closely with Norwood to create an ADA-compliant and accessible recreation space for all children to enjoy. Scott Loverich attended the NJSME 2025 Awards Luncheon on November 19, 2025.
Kennedy Park Playground is an ADA compliant and accessible recreational space in Norwood Borough. The existing playground was outdated and not inclusive. The new playground expands accessibility, benefiting families and youth of all abilities. This project was partially funded by a Bergen County Open Space Grant giving access to Bergen County Residents. The playground features accessible structures for all children ages 5 to 12, including wheelchair-accessible equipment, sensory features, ground-level and elevated play components, and a pour-in-place safety surface. The new playground can be accessed by all using the concrete ramp and crosswalk, handicap parking, and the shaded picnic area.
