MESSAGE
FROM MAYOR DAVID ROBERTS
CHURCH
SQUARE PARK
A
COMMUNITY JEWEL
As
you may know, over the past few months,
we have been making renovations to
Church Square Park to serve the needs
of the entire community, from youngsters
and the approximately 1,000 local
school children to those older who
enjoy the evening gazebo concerts,
hosted annually since 1986 by John
De Palma under the direction of Councilman-at
Large Patrick Pasculli, the future
Mayor, and myself as the Sixth Ward
Councilman, among others.
  
Church
Square Park is a Hoboken landmark,
featured in such masterpieces as “On
the Waterfront.” Today this storied
location has undergone major renovations
and is up and running to accommodate
the needs of our entire population
who value outdoor recreation.
I,
personally, have a great fondness
for the park, going back to my childhood
where I learned to ride a two wheel
bike. I would like current and future
generations to have similar enjoyable
memories. Church Square Park is a
treasure. I firmly support the preservation
and creation of open space and the
restoration of this park serves today
as the cornerstone of this mission.
Sincerely,
Mayor
David Roberts
P.S.,
I would like to acknowledge the entire
City Council for their efforts to
create open space: Councilwoman Theresa
Castellano, Councilman Angelo Giacchi,
Councilman Peter J. Cammarano, Councilwoman
Terry LaBruno, Councilman Ruben Ramos,
Councilwoman Elizabeth Mason, Councilman
Michael Russo, Councilwoman Dawn Zimmer
and Councilman Peter Cunningham.
