Northwest Resiliency Park (ResilenCity Park)

Hoboken’s largest park opened in 2023 as a model for integrating public open space with green infrastructure and climate resilience solutions.

Opened in 2023, the award-winning Northwest Resiliency Park in Hoboken, NJ, represents an innovative and holistic integration of flood mitigation strategies, green stormwater infrastructure systems, and park amenities—built around the triple bottom line approach of environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Designed by OLIN, AKRF, and nArchitects as the largest urban installation of green infrastructure in the state of New Jersey, the park contributes toward Hoboken’s Green Infrastructure Strategic Plan to integrate resiliency into public space in response to ongoing climate change and increasingly large storm events.

The 6-acre park captures and stores one million gallons of stormwater on site in a below-ground storage tank regulated by a wet weather pump station, while providing almost another million gallons of storage in surface green infrastructure elements integrated throughout the park’s programmatic spaces.
