If it’s open and people still haven’t went then wow, but if it isn’t open then that’s why it’s empty. The sad part is I don’t think it’s connected to the rest of the park

Full disclosure, I don't know if it's officially open but I do see people in it every morning and every day usually jogging or with kids I mean it's all done and ready to go as far as this area I just saw a wide open gate

It isn't, I suspect the City has to still get approval from Amtrak and Edison Parking for an easement to connect the two ends.

It's been years Edison parking just redid their parking gates on that lot a few weeks ago so I guess it's going to be even more years

I thought the developers company behind the Shaq towers bought the land were the park would connect to the other side behind the Newark legal building and the smaller tower next to it. As for Amtrak I can’t see them not approving it but that bridge is pulling up to 100 years old, I imagine them wanting to fix or replace it first then approve.

Yes, the land across McCarter Highway from NJPAC. I think I remember seeing work being done on the bulkhead on the Passaic River over the last year or so.

I hate Edison/Goettsman. They are the biggest stumbling block to Newark progress.
