Green acres $2.8 million waterfront park opens in Guttenberg and NB

After eight years punctuated by construction delays and a superstorm or two, a new $2.8 million park opened alongside River Road on Monday, Oct. 6. Located two-thirds on property owned by North Bergen and the rest in Guttenberg, the joint venture includes a playground, picnic areas, grassy knolls, a direct view of Upper Manhattan across the river, and a semicircular amphitheater. "This park is a testament to persistence, cooperation, and a little bit of luck," said Guttenberg Mayor Gerald Drasheff, who first dreamed up the multi-municipality project.
