Most of Hoboken's remaining free space has been turned into apartment complexes, not parks.
The plan is finally under progress, and set to be open to the public in the summer of 2005.
Originally, the pier was supposed to have a floating pool, but now it will instead have a sand volleyball court.
Upper West Side Park: On Hoboken's westernmost border, a 4.2 acre (17,000 m2) park is planned to be north of the 14th street viaduct, lying adjacent to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail tracks, containing athletic fields 1600 Park and Hoboken Cove: A 2.4 acre (10,000 m2) park is proposed at 16th street in Hoboken, and would have handball courts, basketball courts, and tennis courts (two of each type of court; in all there would be 6.)
Funding for this endeavor is partially supported by a grant from The Trust for Public Land.
