The park is an opportunity to create a linear multi-modal recreational and transit corridor enabling seamless walking, biking and transit opportunities between Montclair and Jersey City, while providing opportunities for community connection and regional environmental improvements.Acquisition of the former trail corridor was announced in September 2022. Since then, the DEP – along with its interagency partners at the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and NJ TRANSIT – has been working to bring this once-in-a-generation parks project to life.Construction of the nearly one-mile Newark segment of the park is underway and is anticipated to open in 2027.?
