Hoboken opens a 5.4-acre park that can hold 2 million gallons of stormwater

 ResilienCity Park has officially opened in Hoboken, transforming a former industrial zone into a vital green space. This innovative park not only offers recreational facilities but also enhances the city’s defense against severe flooding. Employing both above and below-ground stormwater storage, it showcases efficient flood-control methods. Supported by federal, state, and county funding, the initiative ensures residents won’t face tax hikes, setting a precedent for cities grappling with climate-related challenges. ResilienCity Park has officially opened in Hoboken, transforming a former industrial zone into a vital green space.
