A 5154 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allocates 10 percent of Green Acres funding to local government units for development of completely inclusive playgrounds.

This bill allocates 10 percent of Green Acres funding specifically for local government units to develop completely inclusive playgrounds, including retrofits of existing playgrounds. It specifies that for non-urban aid municipalities, grants will cover 50 percent of development costs for these playgrounds. The policy change creates a dedicated funding stream for accessible playgrounds while maintaining existing requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This does not alter the overall Green Acres funding structure but establishes a specific category for inclusive playground development.
