7th & Jackson Park and Gym opened in 2019, followed by the Plaza in 2020. This park brings much-needed open space to a growing mixed-use, transit-oriented neighborhood and will build upon the City’s flood resiliency strategy.
By incorporating green infrastructure and underground detention systems to capture more than 470,000 gallons of stormwater runoff, the resiliency park is designed to help address rainfall flooding. It is the second of three resiliency parks constructed in Hoboken, in addition to the Southwest Park and the Northwest Park, which is under construction.
Approximately 1 acre of the park consists of an open grass area with public seating and a children’s play area. An additional 1 acre public plaza features step seating with a bouldering area for relaxing and passive gatherings and a large plaza area designed to accommodate vendors and seasonal markets. Finally, the property features a 6,835 square foot multi-use public gymnasium with a classic field house design.
The project also includes approximately 30,000 square feet of retail space, an on-site parking garage, and 424 residential units, including 42 units of affordable housing.
