Pier A Park, 1st & Sinatra Drive, Hoboken

March to Union Dry Dock/Maxwell Place Park for rally

The Union Dry Dock site is at risk. The multi-year effort to make it an integral part of Hoboken’s waterfront park would be forever lost if Governor Murphy decides that it should be the home of a ferry maintenance/refueling facility. This industrial use is incompatible with the kayaking, fishing, skateboarding, jogging, cycling and other public recreational uses at this site as well as the residential housing nearby.

Join the march & rally to send a message to Governor Murphy that this is absolutely the wrong place for this kind of activity at this unique, ecologically important site, especially given the fact that there are other far more suitable locations for this ferry facility. All welcome. Bring your kids, pets, bikes, scooters, etc.

In addition to the Fund for a Better Waterfront, Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse and Resilience Paddle Sports, contingents will be arriving for the march from the Hudson River Fisherman’s Association, Ke Aloha Outrigger Canoe Club, The Climate Mobilization, Bike Hoboken, Boy Scout Troop 146, Hoboken Girl Scouts and Friends of Liberty State Park. The Hoboken High School Marching Band will also be marching and performing along the march route.

Speakers at the rally include Assemblywoman Annette Chaparro, Noelle Thurlow of Resilience Paddle Sports, Jennifer Cox of the Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse, Sam Pesin of Friends of Liberty State Park, neighborhood resident Leslie Florio and other elected officials.

A Public Park. A Lasting Legacy.
