A longtime Jersey City business has pledged $100,000 for Jersey City's newest municipal park.

Ideal Supply Company, located on Communipaw Avenue, is giving the city $20,000 a year for the next five years to be used to pay for capital improvements, maintenance, special events and equipment purchases at the park.

The $38 million municipal park -- Jersey City's largest -- opened in 2016 after years of planning. On Thursday, Ideal Supply Company president Tracy Bates joined Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop and other city officials for a check signing in the park.
