Linh Tat reports on the opening of a new waterfront park created and maintained by two New Jersey cities: North Bergen and Guttenberg.
"The 1.5-acre park, just north of the Bulls Ferry condominium complex and across from the Galaxy Towers in Guttenberg, features an outdoor amphitheater, children’s playground and green space," according to an article by Linh Tat.
"Running along a stretch of River Road that straddles both Guttenberg and North Bergen, the park was conceived as a joint project, with both municipalities responsible for maintaining and patrolling the area."
The article provides additional details about the funding and political actions that allowed the two cities to deliver the park to the public.
