Embracing Community and Connection: A Recap of Mercer Transportation’s Park Picnic

At Mercer Transportation, we not only cherish our history and heritage but also strive to foster a vibrant community among our staff. One of the gems in our company’s crown is the Bill Howard Memorial Park, named after one of our esteemed founders. Nestled within this serene oasis is a poignant reminder of resilience and unity – a piece of the twin towers from the tragic events of 9/11.

Recently, our Engagement Committee orchestrated a delightful event that epitomized the spirit of camaraderie and togetherness. A picnic in the park, where colleagues were invited to bring their lunches, proved to be an uplifting experience for all.




Under the warm embrace of the sun, our team gathered to unwind and connect. Laughter echoed as staff mingled, sharing stories and building bonds beyond their respective departments. It was a moment to pause the hustle and bustle of daily work life and simply enjoy each other’s company.

The park buzzed with excitement as friendly competitions unfolded. Giant Connect 4, Cornhole, and Giant Jenga provided opportunities for friendly rivalry and lighthearted fun. Cheers erupted with each victory, but the true triumph was the sense of unity and camaraderie that permeated the atmosphere.



Credit goes to our dedicated Engagement Committee for orchestrating such a memorable event. Their commitment to fostering a sense of community within Mercer is truly commendable. It’s through their thoughtful planning and creative initiatives that moments like these come to life, enriching our workplace culture and strengthening our bonds.




As we basked in the joy of the park picnic, we couldn’t help but anticipate the next gathering. With the weather on our side, we eagerly await more opportunities to come together, share laughter, and create lasting memories.

So, to all our Mercer family, mark your calendars and join us for the next picnic in the park. Let’s continue to embrace community, celebrate connections, and make the most of every moment together. Because at Mercer, it’s not just about the work we do, but the relationships we build along the way.
