Birch Grove Park is a community park in eastern Newark with a variety of existing amenities including grass fields, pedestrian pathways, playgrounds, restroom, group picnic areas, half-court basketball, softball field, and tennis courts. The Newark Citywide Parks Master Plan envisions Birch Grove Park to remain a community recreation facility while enhancing the site's capacity to meet the identified recreational needs of the Newark community.

Additionally, the Master Plan proposes the creation of a reservable group picnic area and associated amenities such as volleyball and bocce ball courts.
