According to hobokennj.gov, Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla and the City of Hoboken today announced the opening of the new children’s playground at Church Square Park designed for youth five years old and younger. The new inclusive play area will provide Hoboken’s youngest residents with a modern and safe space in one of the City’s most historic parks. 

The playground, located in the southwest section of the park, along Fourth Street between Park Avenue and Willow Avenue, features inclusive and educational play elements designed to engage young children, including ramped play structures, play mounds, magnet play elements, all-user swings, curved benches, and modern safety surfacing. 

The new children’s playground for Hoboken’s youngest residents is a big step forward in Phase 1 of the Church Square Park Improvements Project, which also includes a new lawn area where the old ages two to five playground was, a landscape buffer along the dog run to help reduce noise, and new public restrooms. These upgrades, expected to be complete this fall, reflect the Church Square Park Vision Plan, developed through an extensive public planning process which included meetings and surveys.
