Johnson Park in Camden, NJ, is a significant cultural and historic landmark that showcases the city's industrial history. Donated by inventor Eldridge R. Johnson, the park features the Neo-Classical Cooper Branch Library and serves as a recreational center, housing the Walt Whitman Arts Center.
Currently undergoing a $2 million restoration project led by Cooper's Ferry and Rutgers-Camden, the park aims to restore its reflecting pools, reconstruct the decorative bronze fence surrounding the Peter Pan statue, and create two small pavilions. The project is financed by the Camden Redevelopment Agency, the Economic Recovery Board for Camden, and the State of New Jersey Green Acres Program.
