Outside in Downtown Newark

Six acres of triangular green between Broad Street and NJPAC, laid out to a Frederick Law Olmsted plan. There is a carousel, a café kiosk and seasonal programming from the city parks foundation in warm weather. It is the piece of downtown Newark that has benches and people sitting on them before an event.

Daily, 7am to 9pm

Three acres of lawn and paths opened in May 2019 on the block facing the Prudential Center, with a children's play area, a splash pad and benches under young trees. It is the piece of ground that links the arena, Penn Station and the edge of the Ironbound, and in December it fills up with the Newark Winter Village. A pedestrian bridge over McCarter Highway and the rail tracks is the unfinished second phase.

Daily, dawn to dusk
