It’s easy to overlook the historic significance of this tiny park when you stroll down Grand St on your way to the more exciting waterfront area. The site of the current park used to be home of the “Flying Camp” - a military formation during Revolutionary War, tasked with defending New Jersey from a potential military attack by the British troops.
The park also features an obelisk and the “Liberty Tree” - a magnificent Northern Red Oak - planted in 1976. It’s a tiny urban oasis mostly used by dog owners. It would benefit from re-pavement of the walkways and rehabilitation of the grassy areas.

A very small relaxing park located at downtown Jersey City near the river.
Just barely a park, really just a few grassy corners which are rarely in good shape. You would not want to sit here or hang out.
Much needed green space, but it could use a face lift. Also, the park is split up by the intersection, so it feels more like 3 small parks across from a parking lot.
Nice place with beautiful vintage furniture and atmosphere. I tried the avocado toast and it was delicious. The only thing is they do not have beer on draft but offer good cocktails.
“In 2006 Jersey City issued a Parks Master Plan. Paulus Hook Park was not deemed a priority. The HPHA therefore formed a Parks Committee whose goal was to redesign and execute a project to renovate the Park. Educational trailers that had been in the southwest quadrant were removed in 2010. That year Jersey City granted HPHA the right to fundraise and design a new park. Since that time the Committee has developed a design, conducted meetings with the community, raised over $500,000 in cash and forged relationships that will lead to management of construction, in-kind services and other benefits for a park renovation project. A Conservancy, whose role will be ongoing care of the park, has been formed, and approvals are being sought with the State Historic Preservation Office and various branches of Jersey City government having jurisdiction over the site...”

Such a huge potential. But nothing fulfill. I think that Staten Island id the most ignored borough of NYC, and every time i hope they will realize that there are more parks other than the central park.
