Park History
Originally part of the Lenape homeland, this land became industrialized by the late 1800s. Over the 20th Century, a railroad facility grew here as part of a network of warehouses, factories, and shipping operations. After the rail yard was abandoned in the 1980s, the area became a communal backyard - an unofficial park before it was a park. Local activists fought to save it from development.
