The playground, beach, and park are the best attractions at Newport Green…read more The park is a huge green lawn with multiple gardens filled with beautiful flowers. Its a solid option for a chill walk or picnic on a beautiful day. The playground attracts families from all around. Although the spaces is relatively small when compared to alternatives found in places like Liberty State Park, it is packed with multiple play areas and jungle gyms for different age groups. It even has a merry-go-round and old school London-style phone booth - totally random but welcome additions. During the summers the splash pad is a hit with the little ones. Finally, the artificial beach right near the edge of the river is a perfect spot to chill at and enjoy a glamours view of the city skyline. Best of all, beach chairs are already provided! The tradeoff: there are no public bathrooms. Whether you are on a date, with family, or just walking the dog, Park at Newport Green is a must-see spot in Hudson County NJ.

I came back shortly after my first review for a picnic so I was able to explore a little more!…read more My boyfriend and I were able to find a parking spot on 48th street which was perfect since there was a path leading down to the park. 48th street is a dead-end with multiple spots which are in front of houses so you may find a spot if you're lucky. My boyfriend and I walked from our spot to a space overlooking the water. On our walk there I saw a cute bike and walking/running paths along the way so I definitely know where I'll be going my next walk! At first, I wasn't sure if we could sit on the grass since I didn't see many people sitting on it around us but once we set everything up park patrol just drove by and that's it. I like how park patrol drives around as it makes me feel safe and secure. As time went on, the park started getting a bit more crowded with adults and children biking, walking, running, skating but nothing too crazy. It was nice to see everyone enjoying the weather! Can't wait to go back to check out the walking paths!

Named from the Delaware Indian term "Hopoghan Hackingh" ("Land of the Tobacco Pipe"), Hoboken is…read morestrategically located on the banks of the Hudson River. This vibrant, walkable small city is a unique delight, now more commonly known for its vibrant cultural scene and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Its charming brownstones and contemporary condos with modern amenities attract professionals, families, and anyone seeking a more laid-back lifestyle. Follow the Hudson River along River Street and explore the beautiful parks and outdoor recreational activities along the way, many of which are free to enjoy. The Hoboken Waterfront Walkway offers joggers, cyclists, and even those who are just in the mood for a gentle stroll the perfect setting. Pier A Park, located on Sinatra Drive, was converted from a disused pier to admire the fantastic panoramic views out to Manhattan and take selfies against the iconic New York City skyline. On a clear day, the views extend all the way from the Verrazano Bridge to the south to the George Washington Bridge to the north. One can spot lots of ferries, sailboats, and even water skis traveling between New Jersey and Manhattan. We can recommend this place.

At the end of last year, I felt extremely unfulfilled with my life. I was working a 9-5 job that is…read moregreat and paid the bills, but gave me no real fulfillment. I had no real purpose in my life other than writing these silly reviews in the morning before work. I don't even know why I love it so much, but I do. It's my little creative outlet. This passion for writing slowly trickled to a passion for making videos. So, at the beginning of this year, I made an agreement with myself that I would shoot, edit, and post between 150-200 videos no matter what. I don't care what thoughts were inevitably going to creep in to try and talk me out of it, I'm doing this. Kobe Bryant, my childhood hero, put it best when he said "I'm not negotiating with myself. The deal has already been made. I signed that contract with myself. I'm doing it." All this to say, I've been on an absolute SPRINT this year. I'm exhausted and drained, but it's been worth it. I started the year with 5,101 followers, and today (Aug 6th) I have 75.5k. I hate judging things off of follower counts, but it is the best metric to depict what success looks like doing this. This past Sunday I was damn near bed ridden sick, but I heard Kobe's voice in my head so I dragged myself out of bed to Hoboken to go do another video. I got off the Path train and started walking, when I turned my head to the right and saw one of the most beautiful views I've seen this year at Pier A Park. A huge grassy plain, with a full view of the New York City Skyline from nose to tail across the Hudson River. It felt like a green screen. It made me pause and be present for the first time in awhile. I've been running so fast at this goal that I haven't really appreciated the journey at all, but this view forced me to stop and smell the roses. I just sat here for 30 minutes thinking "damn life is so beautiful and human beings are amazing." It reminds me of that allegory in the Alchemist when the wise man tells a boy to go explore all the marvels of a magnificent palace, but instructs him to carry a spoon with two drops of oil without spilling any. The first time he comes back with all the oil but misses all the beauty of the palace. The 2nd time he comes back having seen everything there is to see, but has no oil in the spoon. The wiseman concludes by saying "The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never forget the drops of oil on the spoon." You're probably like wtf is wrong with this guy hijacking this review of Pier A park to trauma dump, and that's fair. I'm a little crazy for sure. Shoutout to Pier A park though. It's nice to stop and smell the roses every once in a while. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

There's a nice long well paved pathway surrounded by tons of trees. There's a small playground by one of the parking lots. They have a nice stadium like area with tons of seating. This is my favorite spot in the park. It's nice to just sit here and relax and enjoy the nature outdoors. On the weekends the park gets really packed. Better to go in the morning if you want to walk. My only complaint is that the park is not very big, I wouldn't run here because not much mileage would be covered unless you run back and forth a few times. Overall, it's a nice park in the middle of the city.
