Lincoln Park is a city square and neighborhood, also known as "the Coast," in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States.
[4] The main body of Lincoln Park is bounded by Broad Street and contains several statues including Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen, Planting the Standard of Democracy by Charles Henry Niehaus,[5] and Captive's Choice,[6] an historic statue erected in 1884 by Chauncey Ives, an American sculptor living in Rome, Italy.
LPCCD is also planning a large community garden as part of its Façade[7] project behind the old South Park Calvary United Presbyterian Church, an historically preserved facade.
[10] The LPCCD sponsors the annual Lincoln Park Music Festival in July, which since beginning in 2006 has grown to be an event attracting 50,000 spectators.
[12] The district is slowly being revitalized by The Lincoln Park/Coast Cultural District (LPCCD), which states its mission to "develop a sustainable arts community built on affordable housing, green jobs, music, culture and urban farming.”[13] Newark in the past has been a large producer of music and continues to produce well-known contemporary artists.
The Coast is being redeveloped to pay homage and recreate on a small scale an area with deep roots in American music.
The two main substance abuse treatment centers are CURA, Inc.[20] and Integrity House,[21] both of which operate several men's and women's dormitories as well as out-patient services along the park.
Lincoln Park benefits from its proximity to mixed-use and non-mixed-use properties that include institutional, residential, horticultural, commercial, and educational facilities.
