Last Saturday, National Trails Day, we celebrated with 80+ New Jerseyans and .dep in at the future Greenway, NJ’s newest state park, a nine-mile greenway spanning Essex-Hudson counties.

We celebrated years of hard work to make the Greenway a reality, creating recreation and transportation opportunities for more than 1.5 million residents. That’s a lot of people!

We walked, biked, ate ice cream and cake, had a visioning session, and heard inspiring speeches by US Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, US Congresswoman Analilia Mejia, Acting DEP Commissioner Ed Potosnak, Bloomfield Mayor Jenny Mundell, and our NJBWC’s Executive Director Debra Kagan.

Please help us continue our trail programs across NJ and donate today! So we can all enjoy more trails!

ABOUT NEW JERSEY’S NEWEST STATE PARK 🌳
Development of New Jersey’s newest state park will take place in phases over time and will require sustained investments to implement the full vision of a nine-mile linear park. The park will provide outdoor recreation and alternative transportation opportunities to more than 1.5 million residents in the surrounding area, over 16% of New Jersey’s population. Construction of the nearly one-mile Newark segment of the park is underway and is expected to open in spring 2027.
