Mulberry Commons is downtown Newark’s newest public green space situated across from Prudential Center, the home of the New Jersey Devils. Officially opened in May 2019, the park features a children’s play area, seating areas, and a splash pad. Centrally located in the heart of the city’s downtown, Mulberry Commons is close to the Ironbound neighborhood, known for its great restaurants and lounges, as well as shops along Market Street.
