Want to learn about the history of the parks in the Heights? At this month's Riverview Neighborhood Association on Tuesday June 14th at 7:30PM, there will be a special presentation by Bob Murgittroyd, a founder of the Hudson County Genealogical and Historical Society.
Between 1897 and 1927, four major parks were established in what was then known as Hudson City (now Jersey City Heights): Riverview Park, Washington Park, Leonard Gordon Park and Pershing Field. Bob will present the story of the citizens who worked to make the parks a reality. Free, all welcome. Location: Harbor View Health Center, 178 Ogden Ave, 1st Floor Cafeteria.
