Welcome to the official Weehawken and You website!
Weehawken Waterfront Park and Recreation Center
On Tuesday September 25, 2007 we opened phase one of the Weehawken Waterfront Park and Recreation Center, which provides over 16 acres of recreation space alongside the Hudson River. What was once unusable industrial contaminated commercial space is now a beautiful open public park accessible to all.
Phase one of the park includes two baseball fields, a soccer/football field, a running track, tennis courts, a golf putting green, fitness equipment, an amphitheater for public performances, 2 tot lots and many other amenities. The second phase, currently under design will contain a municipal swimming pool, a hockey/skating rink, a canoe and kayak launch, as well other facilities.
Daniel Webster School Garden of Reading
Another magnificent addition to Weehawken’s open space is the Daniel Webster School Garden of Reading located on the corner of Maple Street and Palisade Avenue. This space was acquired with country grants for the Hudson County Open Space fund. It allows for children to enjoy to joy of reading throughout the school year when teachers will hold class in the garden and read stories to the children.
