Hoboken Community Announcement: Church Square Park Renovation Work to Begin Friday, November 16

Dear Hoboken Resident,

Renovation work will take place at the Church Square Park playground beginning on Friday, November 16. The work was previously scheduled to begin the first week of November but was delayed due to the storm. Demolition of the existing playground will begin on November 16. Installation of the new equipment, followed by installation of the play surface, is expected to take several weeks to complete.

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 for renovations and repairs at Jackson Street Park, Jefferson Park, Legion Park, Madison Street Park, the waterfront skate park, and Mama Johnson Field. 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.
