Hoboken residents are being asked to participate in a public survey that will inform the outcome of the planned resiliency park at 800 Monroe Street, specifically the dog run and the tennis courts. The park is one of four resiliency parks that are a key part of the City’s stormwater mitigation plans. The park at 800 Monroe Street is set to have amenities including a dog run and tennis courts, while underground infrastructure can store millions of gallons of stormwater.

Resident Survey
The City of Hoboken announced a public survey to solicit input on the resiliency park planned for 800 Monroe Street. The survey is intended to gather community input on preferred features for these recreational amenities as the project moves into the engineering and development phase. Community feedback will be used to finalize plans for tennis court and dog run amenities, alongside engineering, accessibility, operational, and maintenance requirements.

This survey is the fourth in a series of surveys conducted by project managers to incorporate resident feedback. There have also been five public meetings since 2023, where residents have been invited to share their thoughts on the project.
About the Park
Once constructed, the resiliency park at 800 Monroe will have the capacity to store more than 340,000 gallons of stormwater during heavy rainfall events, helping to mitigate flooding, as well as a variety of recreational amenities for residents during clear-sky days. The park will include three tennis courts, dog runs, a plaza and garden spaces, an open lawn, and outdoor fitness equipment. The 800 Monroe Park is the fourth resiliency park, which is a key part of the City’s stormwater mitigation efforts.
In 2025, the Hoboken City Council approved the project’s final concept design and authorized financing for the cost of constructing the resiliency park. The project team is now preparing detailed engineering and bid plans, further refining both the park’s recreational amenities and resiliency infrastructure. The City anticipates breaking ground on the park, which has already received over $10.8 million in grant and developer funding, in 2027.

“The 800 Monroe Resiliency Park will help us advance both flood mitigation and recreational opportunities for our community,”said Mayor Emily B. Jabbour. “As we move into the next phase of design, we’re encouraging residents to share their ideas to help ensure the design reflects the needs and priorities of those using them. I look forward to breaking ground on this park next year!”
