Join NJASLA for a guided tour of East Newark Riverfront!
East Newark Riverfront Park transforms a former industrial wharf into a vibrant, accessible green oasis on the banks of the Passaic River. Formerly a brownfield, the site serves as East Newark’s first and only waterfront park and expands its parkland from 1% to 8% of the borough’s land area. This project is a case study of how social uplift, environmental justice, and ecological restoration can guide design in small municipalities. Its landscape architects and designers will walk attendees through the park’s nature-based strategies and its integration of resilient infrastructure, habitat restoration, and community programming.
