The reservations for the courts are free! They have a bunch of events here, I stopped by and saw some sort of fair with rides, fried Oreos and games. There's probably a good path for jogging, but it's a bit far from downtown Jersey City for me to jog here.

Having stayed in Paulus Hook for the last two years, I discovered this park by chance during one of…read moremy evening walks with my partner. Ever since then, we've visited this place for an evening walk pretty often [apart from the freezing winters]. To be honest, this is more of a dog park rather than an actual park and you'll typically find lots and lots of them in the evenings. None the less, I bet you won't be able to find a park in jersey City that gives you such beautiful views of downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River and lets you get as close to the water. There's a bench within the park that's hidden from plain sight but an absolute delight if you discover it :). Besides, a walk here is much more pleasant than perhaps the Boardwalk with much better views. There's also a Korean War Memorial at the foot of the park with a bit of history attached to it. The sole negative that I can call out is the fact that the park isn't as well maintained and can be pretty shabby sometimes.

This little strip of land has grown on me since my move to Paulus Hook. I've taken one star off due…read moreto the city's (or state?) lack of maintenance, but still find it enjoyable for the Paulus Hook area. You have a beautiful view of the NY Skyline, it's s nice walk up and around the peninsula, and you're surrounded by lots of dogs on the weekends to get your dog therapy on. For runners, you can now include it on MapMyRun as we got it added as a running path. Or, just run! Compared to the Exchange Place Boardwalk, it's the same view, possibly even better, but with grass! As well, you can walk on the rocks right to the water and touch it if you care to that is. It's relaxing, and while not fully a park, I appreciate its history and contribution to the neighborhood. FYI - the memorial at the foot of it is the Korean War Memorial, so pay your respects.

From farmers markets on Sundays to dog walks to picnics with a view, this park is a massive reason…read moreI love the heights so much. It's always well taken care of, clean and just a lovely space to enjoy. My dog thoroughly loves circling the fountain endlessly until he finally plops down on the sunniest patch he can find. I come with friends and blanket often to enjoy dinner with a view of Hoboken and the city, every Sunday from May to Nov (?) for the farmers markets, sometimes for free yoga in the park and often just for a little stroll around. The park is lined with cafes and shops on Palisades, food trucks like Abi's Pasta and Little Oaxaca and its within a stone's throw from basketball courts, a turf field and a community garden. It really is lovely and worth a stroll!

The inaugural Heights Holiday Market brought my friend and her dog, her friends, and I to Riverview-Fisk Park as we took in the festive season and a reason to spend money. I've been here on previous occasions as one of the little black beast's favorite walking routes to mingle with other furry friends, while I simply enjoyed the views https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=55gAs8tTYbdVrONBqH2bnw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and its proximity to a favorite bottle shop of mine. Would this holiday market provide more of a reason to continue visiting this park or was it just commercialism for our hard-earned dollars!? PURCHASE Generally speaking, with the exception of this special holiday market (I bought a "Jingle Juice" aka spiced mulled wine for $8.00 https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IRvCPulV2ta4CSUaSXJ0iw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw... in addition to a $12.00 sausage sandwich and $15.00 sweets which will be in separate reviews), and the farmers market that took place annually between May through November every Sunday rain or shine from 10am-2pm, there was nothing to purchase. I didn't even see any street vendors unlike the abundance I would see back in L.A. SERVICE Of the several times I've visited the park, I've never seen any staff members or workers cleaning or tending to the various facilities (e.g. basketball courts, fields, general grounds, playground, trashcans, etc.). Thankfully, everything appeared to be well-kept especially since a fairly recent major renovation occurred during the pandemic lockdown years. With respect to the holiday market, all the vendors were attentive, friendly, and ready to assist you with whatever they were selling. All was good. PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 10-minute one-way walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there was a small onsite lot, and there seemed to be sufficient street parking along the main drag of Palisade Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An elongated park located in The Heights that primarily ran along Palisade Ave. on one side and a ravine or sorts that allowed for captivating views of the New York City skyline https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iotaQhm6QmA89kV4C_BZ6w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this had several features of what you'd expect from such a place. From open spaces https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=i6Cz_aDGcm7t7mvAzlgaAw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, grassy fields, basketball courts, a central plaza https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rRf019qblHxon3WUzuBaPg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw along with an ornamental water fountain https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RrGlizRKLTaHXVg77oTCQQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a circular pathway https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kUK_L6psNCt7dHhAvtfemA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a children's playground, and a small area for your four-legged furry friends! In addition, there were several historic monuments, such as a bust of Henry Hudson and a dedication plaque for Theodore Conrad, just to name a couple. Obviously, there was plenty of natural lighting (duh!) while updated electric lights illuminated the rest of the area. There weren't any TVs while the chatter and hustling of people, playing children, music from the vendors, vehicular traffic, and more, filled the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jaHneMQo7oAcGVPs-L9qhQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... if it weren't so freakin' cold. OVERALL Riverview-Fisk Park was a chill place to leisurely hang out at, but for me it came back to the dog and the views for my future visits. It was in a safe area, and I would like to see how it was during the warmer months (I imagined more robust activities) versus the colder winter months when I visited. And darn it... Riverview Wine & Spirits was right down the street on Bowers St.! However, I had no idea whether or not there were any restrooms. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $35.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, at least the vendors I shopped at accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

There is a very nice World War I memorial that was dedicated on November 9th,1930 when you first enter the park. Currently under construction is a playground for the kids on your right when first entering the park.Out front on the Kennedy Blvd entrance way are a couple of nice little gardens which are very nice to see. City administration is working on a reclamation project to spruce up this grand old park.Hopefully it works.I'd hate to see this park disappear & fall to the hands of the less than desirable folks that can hang here.
