Gateway Park Gateway Park is an official yet secluded park in Hoboken, New Jersey that was created in 2000 to help make the neighborhood more scenic. In 2002 Troop 146 cleaned up Gateway Park for Earth Day and also cleaned up nearby Jackson Street. The park itself has trees, grass, and a bird feeder. There is an official sign at the park that says "Your Park", although it doesn't say "Gateway Park" yet. The park is about as big as a gas station. Details - Gateway Park is in the southwest corner of Hoboken.
- It is at the corner of Newark Street and Jackson Street on a block that is half in Hoboken and half in Jersey City.
- The park is shaped like a right triangle, with the bottom part of the triangle on the south, and the right part of the triangle on the east.
- Gateway Park is Hoboken's smallest park.
- The park is the southernmost park in Hoboken.
- The park shares a border with Jersey City to the south and to the west.
- Gateway Park is bordered to the south by train tracks, to the north and west by Newark Street (which is always busy and full of cars) and to the east by an abandoned building (the Windsor Wax Company).
- On 2 of the 3 sides the park is lined with pine trees.
- The "Your Park" sign says from top to bottom the following rules: Dogs must be on a leash, no alcoholic beverages, no defacing of property, no littering, no barbacuing. (Those are the standard rules for Hoboken parks.)
