The playground, beach, and park are the best attractions at Newport Green. 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. read more

Newport Green - At night - Parks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This place is a GEM! My 4yo son has been begging to play in sand somewhere. Found this man made Beach via google and decided to give it a try. Do not park on the street. It's only 1hr parking (costs $2.35) via a parking app and you can't just extend it when the hour is up. We made this mistake. You have to move your car. I saw reviews from others saying they will put a boot on your tire! We moved our car to a parking garage. It cost me $13 for 1-2hrs? Can't exactly remember how long we were there after the initial 1hr. Kids flip flopped between the sand area and the 6 little water spouts that would shoot out water. SAND AREA - clean. Plenty of area to social distance. We went on a Sunday and it was fine. There are beach chairs (movable) and permanent umbrellas that offered lots of shade. Also had a water spout where kids could fill up containers and people could rinse off their hands and feet. Beautiful view of the nyc skyline and the water. Flowers trimmed the border of the sand along the water. No access to the sidewalk or river from sand area. Have to walk all the way around if you Want to walk along the water. The sand area is sort of lower so on the entrance side, you could sit on the cement if there were no chairs available. RITA'S ITALIAN ICE CART - there was one at the entrance to the park. We didn't get it though Lots of grass area to sit on between the sand and water play area. PLAYGROUND - kids only played here for a short amount of time. They were more interested in the sand. But it was a cute playground and was clean. Looks like it has a splash pad also, but it wasn't turned on yet. CAROUSEL - cute that they had One. It was not working when we went. read more

I was just out here a few weekends ago for the first time to run in the NYRR Newport Fiesta 5K, and had no idea how much the area built up! Years ago the Jersey City area was pretty bad, and certainly not a destination location. That has all changed now with the building up this town has seen. Newport has seen a boom in residential construction, with more hi-rise condos on the way. It's definitely not a cheap rent area anymore! Yet, those views of Manhattan are priceless. The Green has a nice man-made beach with smooth sand, umbrellas, and Adirondack chairs for both adults and kids to chill out in. The park itself is very manicured and has plenty of trees and foliage offering shade. Playground too. Can't forget the carousel! Be warned though there are no on-site bathrooms. Maybe a quick jog across the the street to Target if you need to relive yourself. Had to take off a star for no public restrooms. They are much needed for a park like this, especially with all the kids that will come here. Close to the PATH train and Light Rail. Ferry service and water taxis too. Restos, food options, bars, and coffee spots just minutes away. Terrific spot to take the kids and relax while they play. Also a great spot for adults to enjoy, then take an Uber over to Grove Street for dinner and cocktails. read more

I am love with this little park! The area is a amazing and really well designed. The kids park is a must for little ones, because of the sprinklers, on hot days. So many relaxing areas and beautifully view of Manhattan skyline. And great public restrooms available. read more

Jersey City has a beach (yup, you heard me right) and you can find this hidden little gem at the Newport Green. Making the trek down the shore from JC can be a bit of a headache. The long drive, finding parking, paying to get on the beach, blah blah. If you aren't feeling all of that then spending your day at Newport Green is a solid option. There is a large beach area, a grassy lawn and lots of kid friendly activities like a jungle gym and a carousel. On a sunny weekend day the area is filled with families and sun bathers. It's not rare to see a festival going on with things like food for sale, outdoor music and games and activities. Best part is that all of this is right on the waterfront and you can overlook the beautiful NYC skyline. It's also situated right in between Newport / Hoboken and near to the Hoboken light rail + Newport and Hoboken path which makes it a convenient location for many. Overall, this is a great place to spend some time outdoors when the weather is just right. read more

This park is huge and has so much to offer. There's a huge play structure for kids of all ages. It was very packed on a Sunday afternoon so we headed to the open green lawn. It was a great place for my toddler boys to run around. There's gates all around which makes it safe (as long as they're closed). There's a cute "beachfront" with sand and lawn chairs which will be nice on a summer day. Wish there was more parking available. read more

There are a ton of places to take your kids to relax and hang out. But this place takes the cake. Especially for a ridiculously hot Summer. It's free, it's comfortable to sit and relax. There are numerous attractions, food, bars, and coffee spots nearby. There is nothing like the sound of children laughing and enjoying themselves. This place will happily extract those sounds for you without breaking the bank. read more

Newport Green - Parks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Lovely park! The playground includes swings, sprinklers, slides, and climbing contraptions. There's also a small man-made beach with sand and Adirondack chairs, and let's not forget the carousel. While there are several points of entry, many are locked (probably for security reasons) so you have to enter through the main/middle area. The park is well designed and I hope it stays nice! This park is really made for locals as it's located close to the path and light rail station, with only limited metered parking spots. However, there are no on-site bathrooms. Also, I went around the entire park and could not find any bike parking racks which is a bummer. read more

Clean beautiful oasis!!! Great for children and families to hang out. Pay attention to where you park.

pleasant public park with beautiful view of Manhattan. Great option for neighbors and visitors

The splash pad is never on. What is the problem!!! I live in the area, and the playground is nice, but it gets really hot and no where to cool off. The carousel is never on either. read more

This is a wonderful little space across from Target/behind the Morton Williams shopping area. From the Target lot, you'd barely know it was there. I'm a little hesitant to mention it myself because I don't want it overrun by annoying hoards of idiots, but hey, some of you might not fall into that category. There is a playground for the kids with big sprinklers, a grassy lawn, and a man-made "beach" which is super small, but gets the job done. It is adjacent to the Riverwalk and a five-minute walk from the Newport PATH/light rail stations, so it's easily accessible for all. I went yesterday afternoon and the "beach" area was barely occupied, so I parked myself under an umbrella, opened a book, and took in the awesome view of the Hudson and the city. I assume if there are strict rules about pets, that there must be strict rules about alcohol, but if someone can clarify that, it would be much appreciated. read more

Yes people in Newport area of Jersey city call this as a FAKE BEACH! It is not a beach, it has some beach chairs and sand few feets across from the hudson river. There is also a park close which is a good spot for kids. This spot is pretty new so definitely worth checking out in the neighbourhood. read more

This is my sons favorite park. We really like the water sprinklers it's a nice way to keep cool on hot days. The kids play area is very nice, theres different areas for different interests. We also really like being able to look out at the water, theres even a small sand (beach) area where you can lay or sit. The beach area is very small. The down part is it's very hard to find parking. I see alot of bicyclists, and people walking their dogs, so far it's been a nice clean park. read more

Newport Green - Has lots of little activities for kids. My 5 year old had a good time. - Parks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Who know??????? The Newport area has a beach front that overlooks NY....that right; Jersey City is really doing it up. First time going was during the Labor Day weekend with family. It was not very crowded due to people traveling over the holiday weekend. I guess that's what made it more delighting for me.....not a lot of people around. The serenity of this place really gave us an opportunity to take in the sand, views, and each other. Here you can bring your little ones to play in the sand instead of going to the Jersey Shore...if you just want a quick fix. They also have a playground for the kids to run around in the water, on the swing set, monkey bars, etc. There is also other green space for you to lounge, throw a Frisbee, play soccer, or just walk along the walking path that is there. You are near everything, Target, Newport Mall, PATH, Restaurants and Living space. Here you have everything at your figure tips. That's what makes it so marvelous for Jersey City and those who are able to partake in the habitat. read more

Newport Green - Parks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Absolutely amazing little paradise for kids overlooking NYC. A park for kids that have swings, sprinkling water and slides. Located in Newport NJ, it just doesn't get better. They also have a nice carousel for I believe a $1 a ride. Parking all throughout the streets at the cost of $0.25 for every 10 Mins. Feet away from the playground you have a great seating area with sand on the ground Adirondack chairs and umbrellas which is about as close as to a beach you will get in this area but so satisfying with the view of NYC. Now the only downside is there are no bathrooms so a trip to Target across the way might be necessary. I just hope the people who go here will learn to appreciate this little paradise and keep the MONSTERS out (and I mean in terms of disorderly grown ups)..or at least tamed while here. P.s. - make sure you get back to your car parked at the meters. They will ticket you and place a boot on your wheels. read more

When the heck did they build and open this place? The portion of the boardwalk between Newport & Hoboken has been closed for such a long time that I never ventured to this side until two weeks ago. The park is just across the Target parking lot. The area near the main street is a little noisy what with all the cars. But it's a nice bit of green amidst all the buildings in Newport. It even has a track for joggers. The park extends further toward the board walk. There's a little play area for kids and even a carousel! The beach/sandy area has beach umbrellas, lounge chairs; nice spot to relax and take in the views of the city. read more

Newport Green - Parks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Newport Green is great for kids. You can keep them entertained at the playground, which is pretty big. During the summer, you can bring the clan to the beach/sand area where there are beach chairs as well as tables. Plus, there's also the carousel. If you have older kids who like to run around and play sports (or if you like to do these things), there's also a large field and a ping pong table area. It's a cute, little park and offers locals with kids and families a place to congregate and enjoy being with one another. As most if not all the places in Newport, the area is pretty, well-maintained, and has nice views. read more

Great spot-an urban oasis to sit and sun, or stop and rest after biking or walking on the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. Bring a lock to secure your bike or stroller, as they aren't allowed inside the park. read more

Great place to catch the sunrise, and yes there is a beach. It doesn't rival the Jersey shore, but kind of novel to have sand in Jersey City. The early morning views of the city are second to none. Get there 45 minutes before sunrise and enjoy the next hour. Amazing. read more

Wonderful park in downtown Jersey City! I came to this park today for the first time in a few years. I believe they were doing construction here a few years ago. Didn't get to see much or what they were planning to do. Glad to see the final outcome of it. Unfortunately, I didn't get to stay long and explore the rest of the park. My friend and I found the beach with empty beach chairs and enjoyed the nice weather today. We noticed there were a lot of moms out with their babies playing in the sand. Seeing all those babies put a smile on our faces. Some people were also sunbathing and others were playing with their dogs. The locals here are very nice. Can't wait to come back another day to try out the carousel! It's such a wonderful touch to the neighborhood! read more

Ok, forgot I posted this few weeks ago but the park and beach is still at the current site. Still a great place to relax, enjoy the sun and the view. Only thing though is that The Ellipse blocking the view of the WTC is the reason why I gave this 4 stars. Let's just hope the current construction project next to Newport Green dont block the view of Hoboken/Midtown Manhattan. read more

Beautiful park. There's street metered parking which is until 10PM at night. ($0.25 per 10 minutes) There is a carousel and playground for kids. There is also a grass area with lots of tables and chairs. There is also a sand area with some a bunch of adirondack chairs. The view of Manhattan is beautiful. The running path runs right by it. read more

Newport Green is a green space and man-made beach across the street from the Target in the Newport neighborhood of Jersey City. I decided to attend their annual beach party, where 10 local restaurants sold samples of their offerings, and a live DJ played music. I was really surprised by how well the people who own this park (I believe they are condo developers) designed the space, which includes a turf-covered grassy area, a small man-made beach, a beautiful and innovative playground, a mini waterpark-esque play area, a grassy space for lounging, and a soon-to-be carousel. In addition, security guards patrol the space. The best part about Newport Green are the views! Visitors have unobstructed views of Lower and Midtown Manhattan and also of Hoboken. With the addition of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, commuters and people who want to get from Jersey City to Hoboken can simply walk there. Yes, you can walk to the Hoboken Bus/Train Terminal from the Newport Green! On the fence of the walkway, anyone interested can find signs that explain the history of the area. I actually learned a lot about Jersey City from reading these signs! The only reason I give Newport Green four, not five, stars is because of the lack of parking and the VERY strict no-pet rules. Pet owners will not be welcome here. I noticed a lot of people visiting Newport Green were parking in the Target parking lot, but I guess the park area was designed to be walkable and accessible by public trans: the PATH, Light Rail, and train are very close by. I definitely recommend visiting on a beautiful day! read more

Love this park! This park is a great mix of a huge green ground for anything (soccer, picnic etc) Then also have a playground for kids with a little water park and a carousel AND they have a sand ground with chairs and umbrellas ! So cool and the view to the city is just amazing!!!!!!!!! Also it's a lot of kids in that park which I don't mind but they literally running everywhere in the park. And people who just wanna tan without kids getting weird looks lol Also there is always a security guy if you need anything . Not bad !! (Minus - no really bathroom so I always walk to target) read more

They park was absolutely beautiful. Nice gated area for kids and a sprinkler area. They have a sand area with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Perfect view of NYC. The only issue was the meter parking. It's $1.50- max 1hour. And the meter cops are very on top of the meters so make sure to bring enough quarters if not the meter machines take credit cards. Also there is no snack machines or food trucks. Make sure to bring a cooler with your own snacks. read more

This park is a nice change from others with it's standard park items, swings, jungle gyms, water park etc. The "beach" area is an added bonus and treat. The one downside that in my view poor urban space/park planning is the lack of bathroom facilities. Even portable Johns would be helpful but it lack of maybe by design. read more

I wish more people knew about this park but at the same time i love how it is quiet and peaceful. for its size, it definitely is a great park. my favorite spot is little beach area. having that the park is in the city, it lives up to the nice breeze under the sand feeling. the carousal seems fun as well, and the phone booth/ticket booth thing is pretty cool. the playground is fairly nice and big. and not to mention the awesome view of nyc. read more

Newport Green is a little hidden gem! I am fortunate enough to work in the area, and just found out that they have a little beach!! It's adorable. The park is located across from the Target, which i'm assuming people park in and walk over. The parking here seems tough just as anywhere in JC or Hoboken. The park is CLEAN and hopefully it will stay that way! There is a "beach" - sanded area with clean white sand, along the waterfront. There is no water access though. There are plenty of adirondack chairs to sit on and you can also lay out. There are a few umbrellas as well. There's a grass area with benches, a children's water park which looks really fun for the kids - and it's free! I will say, i'm sure on a Saturday that part is mobbed with annoying screaming brats. There's also a carousel which is super cute. My friend told me there's also a big field to play sports on which is really nice, but I didn't see it when I went. The park is also monitored. I am planning on coming here once a week during lunch to sit, relax and enjoy the view! So happy this is here! And it's the one place that's not taken up by obnoxious teenagers with no class. Kudos to JC! read more

Amazing, in one word! The greens, the carousel, the large play area, the ping pong table, the artificial sand beach with chairs...it is perfect for the whole family. Nowadays I see a lot of non-Newport residents around, including a lot from Hoboken, none of whom need to pay local taxes in JC, but get to use the park to the fullest (sometimes with an attitude! :=). Also great they don't allow dogs here. I love dogs, but not irresponsible owners who don't pick up after them. read more

Wow! This park came out of nowhere, and boy, did they do a great job with it. It's definitely more kid/family oriented, and it's not huge, but it's a great addition to the area. There is a large sand beach with chairs and tables. There is a huge playground area. There is also a large grass field, where I've seen foreigners playing cricket (which is super cool to watch). They have cool stone ping pong tables (although it's so damn windy there, I don't know if you'd ever be able to actually play). read more

Very pretty park, lots of grass and play space. But they failed by not adding bathrooms. The kids playground is great except for the NO bathrooms. You have to run to the Target across the street. In the summer time when the sprinklers are on abd the kids are running around for hours in cold water they need to use a bathroom. I've seen a few kids just pee in the water so the other kids can splash in urine. read more

This my son and I go to spot of the summer. Train accessible with a mock beach/sand area and a splash park area that's all free!

Hate that the splash pad closes on Labor Day, as it's still hot till end of October, but that's ok! From Memorial Day till then, we'll be there! read more
