Southwest Resiliency Park Expansion
Client: CITY OF HOBOKEN

The City of Hoboken in 2021 hired a Landscape Architecture Consultant and ENGenuity as well as several other consultants for the Southwest Resiliency Park Expansion. Hoboken’s Southwest Resiliency Park Expansion will provide recreational amenities and will incorporate multiple innovative stormwater management measures. The Park Expansion will complement the existing Southwest Park, and will build upon the stakeholder feedback already received for the existing pop-up park at its location. The Southwest Park Expansion, located at 57 Marshall Street/60 Harrison Street, was developed through a robust public engagement process. Public input was used to develop alternative layouts for the project site, each maximizing the design and flood risk reduction potential. Through public feedback on these alternatives, a final design for the park was chosen, construction documents completed, and the project was publicly advertised and bid for construction in Fall 2023. The Southwest Resiliency Park Expansion incorporates innovative, inclusive, and universally accessible play areas, active recreation, passive recreation, cultural/civic uses, landscapes, and urban design. The project complements the character of the surrounding neighborhood, including the existing Southwest Resiliency Park. The project detains stormwater to further manage flooding in Southwest Hoboken. The Project incorporates multi-modal improvements on the streets surrounding the park so that access and circulation around the park are improved. The project is currently in the construction phase.
