Newport Green Park
Outdoor Play Builds Community
We met with Mayor Healy and children from Stevens Cooperative School at the Newport Green Park dedication to touch on how the park is helping to spur community learning in downtown Jersey City.

“Without learning… no civilization is going anywhere.” – Mayor Healy, Jersey City NJ @ 3m55s, Newport Green Park Dedication
