The Robinson Park Restoration Project will improve water quality, mitigate flooding, and enhance native habitat by converting 3+ acres from turf grass and invasive plant species to native vegetation for use by songbirds and pollinators, daylighting a portion of buried stream from a confined concrete channel, and installing a forested riparian buffer with water quality features.
The project will promote stormwater infiltration and evapotranspiration and will filter runoff to prevent up to 13 tons of sediment annually from discharging to the Tookany Creek and downstream Delaware Bay.
