Riverbank Park

Riverbank Park is a landscaped park in Newark with open green spaces, pathways, and designated recreational areas. The grounds include children's play spaces and rest areas where visitors can walk, jog, or sit and relax.

The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its importance for historic preservation. This designation protects the site from major alterations and honors its value to the city's heritage.

The park serves as a gathering space where Newark residents and visitors spend time outdoors together and enjoy community life. You will notice families picnicking, children playing, and neighbors socializing along the pathways.

The park is freely accessible to visitors of all ages and offers multiple entry points with level pathways throughout. Bring water and dress for the weather, as some areas have limited shade.

The site blends recreational park functions with historic site designation in one location. This dual role is uncommon and shows how leisure and history coexist here.
