Before this abandoned tool and die shop was converted to a park, parents in the 507 Elm Street neighborhood had to walk their children across active rail lines to access the nearest park. Now, this former brownfield site has become an asset to this vibrant community.

The transformation of this property was done through an open process that engaged various people and required teamwork to address technical issues and to obtain resources to see this project to a successful completion. The Mayor and Council of the Town of Kearny, the Hudson County Brownfield Stakeholders Group and, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Case Manager, the Mayor and Council of Kearny as well as Linda Range, case manager with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, were all important members of the team.
