The effort was fully funded by the Jersey City Open Space Trust Fund and took six months to complete.
“Triangle Park has been a priority under our Open Space Trust Act with a goal of reclaiming the public park space to bring out its fullest potential for the benefit of neighborhood residents, and so we worked directly with the community to understand their needs and bring them to fruition,” Mayor Steven Fulop said in a statement.
“This is a great way to kick off summer, especially for many of the local children and families as these park improvements provide an easily accessible outdoor recreational space where they can cool off and have fun under the sun.”

Jersey City officials broke ground on the expansion of Fairmount Triangle Park in Ward F launching a $200,000 park renovation.
The renovation aims to improve safe access while increasing outdoor recreational space.
The grant-funded project will transform two street segments that bisect existing green spaces – at the intersection of Fairmount and Summit avenues – to create an uninterrupted park.
