A Park Shared by Two Cities

Washington Park is unusual in that it serves two distinct municipalities at once. Programming reflects that — events range from Cuban-American cultural celebrations on the Union City side to brownstone-block neighborhood cleanups on the Jersey City Heights side, with plenty of overlap in between.
