"Drug park," ha. Have witnessed a few transactions here while shooting hoops. Bums me out to see dudes blazing while there's a few kids playing on the slide 10ft away. That place sure could use a renovation.

+1 ( and I know quite a few more that agree with this notion).

Many developers and builders I know have been able to manipulate staff at the planning department to the extent that they feel they can step over the mark and do as they please from time to time, as we have seen with this issue.

This is what the developer is planning to put in the dog run.

The rest of the area will be trees and shrubbery. Brick path similar to before. There will be cafe tables and chairs on a small patio open to the public, of course.

It was a very nice little park:

That now looks like this:

Very disgusting to do such a thing. Also, the synthetic grass they want to put in doesn't provide oxygen, the most beneficial part of a park.

Jersey City 'disgusted' with developer who demolished city park

By Terrence T. McDonald | The Jersey Journal The Jersey Journal
on March 13, 2015 at  5:08 PM

JERSEY CITY - City officials are declaring war on a developer who demolished a Downtown pocket park without obtaining permission first.

The developer, BLDG, says it is making improvements to the 8,000-square-foot park, a city-owned lot located outside the 35-story tower BLDG is building at 110 First St. But neighbors and city officials say they had been expecting any plans to go before the planning board or City Council before BLDG started ripping up the park on Wednesday.

Now, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said the city will issue BLDG fines and not allow any residents to move into the 110 First St. tower until the park's brick paths and lawn are restored. Residents are expected to move into the building later this year.

"We are disgusted with their actions," Morrill said. "This developer will see hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and losses at his building, as it will now remain vacant until we feel his actions have been corrected."
