The photograph above is a glimpse of historic Hamilton Park. In the center was a large water fountain, surrounded by an ornamental iron fence and the park was considered to be Passive.
Our park is the heart of the community. It lends tranquility and harmony to our lives. As the largest park in downtown Jersey City, it is visited by a diverse population. Located as it is in a historic district, its maintenance and plan should reflect the quality and tone of the surrounding architecture. It is the single most important and irreplaceable historic property in our neighborhood.
In recent years, the number of people visiting this park has increased and will continue to increase as more people choose to make Jersey City their home. Our goal's support Hamilton Park's historic quality, natural beauty and preservation while accommodating graciously and appropriately the "greatest" park related needs of the community which it serves.
We support a "period restoration" for Hamilton Park to include the historic style water fountain, landscaping & gardens and preserving green open space, with only a slight modification to include the communities’ Top needs, and nothing more.
