A United Parks As One Community Celebration
Held every first Tuesday in August, National Night Out strengthens trust between Newark residents and the public safety officers who serve them.
United Parks As One was among the first community groups in Newark to host a National Night Out celebration. What started as a single neighborhood event has grown into three annual gatherings across the city:
Jesse Allen Park
Mildred Helms Park
Nat Turner Park
Each location offers its own unique experience, but all share the same goal: to create safe, welcoming, and joyful spaces where residents and public safety partners can connect.
Every National Night Out event in Newark is packed with fun, free, and family-friendly activities for all ages.
Every August, National Night Out transforms Newark’s parks into vibrant hubs of music, laughter, and shared purpose. This annual event is more than a celebration — it’s a powerful movement toward stronger, safer, and more connected neighborhoods.
Through partnerships with public safety, local organizations, and neighbors like you, United Parks As One creates an evening of joy that uplifts the entire city.
United Parks As One proudly collaborates with a wide range of sponsors and partners to bring National Night Out to life.
Their support helps us create an unforgettable night filled with music, safety, wellness, and joy — all rooted in community love.
Here are just a few of the organizations who help make this event possible:
