Chime in on Church Square Park Improvements

Hoboken residents can voice their opinions about the new design of Church Square Park on Thursday May 17 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Hoboken Public Library.

"Church Square Park is used by so many people for many different purposes, so we want to hear everyone’s ideas on how we can improve the park for our entire community," Mayor Dawn Zimmer said in a statement. 

The City will use a portion of a $1.6 million bond for city-wide parks improvements towards improvements at Church Square Park. Funds from the bond were also recently used to renovate playgrounds at Jackson Street Park, Jefferson Street Park, and Legion Park. The Hoboken Family Alliance’s Project Play previously raised $50,000 in private funds for playground improvements which are also being donated towards the Church Square Park project.

The city hired Suburban Consulting Engineers as a planner to assist in developing a plan for Church Square Park. The planner will be in attendance to solicit public input and will develop a plan following the meeting. That plan will be presented at a public hearing at the library on June 12, from 5 to 8 p.m.
