Newport Green Park

Did you know there’s a beach in Jersey City? Sure, technically it’s a contained manmade sand beach, but with plenty of space to spread out and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, Newport Green Park is the place to spend a warm weather weekend. For those with kids, the spacious playground and carousel are popular, but there’s fun for adults too with an onsite ping pong table. Pack for a picnic and call it a day in Newport Green Park at Washington Boulevard and 14th Street.
