Lawrenceville Borough received grant money to refurbish the playground on Cherry Street.

This is the beautiful new playground.

Melvin W. Davis spent his life in service to our town, as a member of the Lawrenceville Borough Council and “behind the scenes”, performing many volunteer services. In recognition of his years of service, the Lawrenceville Borough Council voted to name the playground in his honor.

COME ONE – COME ALL!! Please join us for the Dedication of the new

Lawrenceville children’s park!

The park will be named the “Melvin W. Davis Memorial Park” to honor his many

years of service to our town.

In preparation for the dedication, the Borough Council placed a plaque in the corner of the park.
