I love this park! It’s so beautiful and peaceful! It has a lovely dog park too. It is a well- kept, beautiful space with so many wonderful trees and plants.
My safe place and the reason why I moved to Jersey city in 2019! So beautiful, well taken care of, lovely weekend farmer’s markets, and community. Only thing is some dog owners allow their dogs to go in the No Dog zone and plenty of irresponsible dog owners allow their dogs in the dog runs who shouldn’t be there. I have a dog myself but that doesn’t entitle me to curtail rules or courtesy to my fellow neighbors and park goers. Love the two little small libraries too!
It’s so pretty, there’s a small fountain in the middle where the birds are bathing. I’ve noticed some beautiful blue flowers on a bush that I’ve never seen before & also hydrangeas which are thriving. It’s well maintained & clean. We are filming a movie nearby & I wandered here to sit down for a moment & I am so glad I did :)
