I'm so excited about this. We really need a park in JSQ

This is fantastic news.

Fulop has done a decent job of finding ways to get some more park space in the city.

Excellent news!! Journal Square really needs this green space.

Excellent news on this front. You really do feel the lack of parks up there, especially when you have small children.

Edit: grammar

Nice

Now we just need a fruit and veg stand in this neighborhood and we’re good to go.

This was actually in the works before he was mayor. But maybe he had something to do with it while he was on the city council.

This parcel was zoned for open green space back in 2010. It’s just taken a long time for Hudson County to work out plans to build the new courthouse and demolish the existing building to make way for the park.

There’s a detailed timeline of events here.

Thanks for the correction.

The new courthouse with park next door makes me, almost, not dread jury duty in the future

We could use a good bar too, no?

Seriously.

Is this a city or county park?

try Apna Bazar.

I'm going to assume city but that's just an assumption.

Mira Fruit & Farm is pretty good

I’m not a Fulop fanboy but he/admin deserve some credit for working out the current deal with the county. Community raised hell in ‘19 when the county wanted to sell part of the land to a developer. The land was zoned for a park in 2010 but the nuts and bolts of who would own the land (city or county), who would build the park, etc., weren’t settled until pretty recently.
