Park Performing Arts Center

The Park Performing Arts Center is a performing arts venue in Union City, New Jersey, featuring a theater with more than 1000 seats. The auditorium contains a substantial pipe organ with hundreds of pipes that is used for performances and musical events.

The building was constructed in 1931 as part of a church complex built by the Roman Catholic Church. It has since transformed into a cultural center serving the community, while preserving elements from its original period.

The center hosts Broadway shows, concerts, and community events that reflect the diverse populations living in North Hudson County. Performances draw both longtime patrons and new audiences exploring what the venue offers throughout the year.

The center is located near 32nd Street and Central Avenue, making it easy to find. It also offers classes in performing and visual arts open to the public, encouraging people to develop creative skills.

The building houses ornate stained glass pieces from an Austrian art studio, created in the early 20th century. These artistic windows were later restored and add to the historical character of the interior.
