Neighborhood association, school district in tug of war over Downtown Jersey City playground

The Historic Paulus Hook Association wasn’t looking for a literal playground fight, but the group certainly isn’t backing down.

After years of planning, multiple city administrations and plenty of fits and starts, the Paulus Hook pocket park playground at the corner of Grand and Washington streets was opened this summer.

And now the school district wants to make the Downtown playground, which abuts School 16, exclusively its own — at least between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
