Residents invited to Church Square Park listening session

The City of Hoboken will host a public listening session on Wednesday, March 29, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Church Square Park to gather feedback from the community about potential upgrades to the historic park's amenities. This will be an "open house" style event where park goers can stop by at any time to provide feedback.

Church Square Park, bounded by Garden Street, Fourth Street, Park Avenue, and Fifth Street, was built in 1875. The park serves a broad variety of community members who utilize the passive and active spaces of the park, including seating, lawn space, basketball courts, dog runs, playgrounds, and natural elements of the park.  

The City of Hoboken seeks to create a vision plan for the park to outline potential future upgrades.
