Year of Open Space: Reimagining our Parks and Public Spaces

The Year of Open Space (YoOS) is an initiative to optimize existing public spaces for a post-pandemic world and to create more innovative, non-traditional public spaces in the City to better meet the community’s needs. This yearlong effort will be supported by the Offices of Innovation and Sustainability and will build on the recently adopted Open Space Element of Jersey City’s Master Plan.

We are excited to launch the Year of Open Space with a pop-up at McGinley Square, and we will be doing similar activations throughout the year in neighborhoods across the City. See below for event details.
