Hoboken is a beautiful city, rich with culture and history – and a big part of why it's so stunning is its proximity to the waterfront. This means the city is home to amazing waterfront dining and parks, but it can also mean danger. In the event of heavy rains and high winds, Hoboken is uniquely vulnerable to flooding and has endured multiple devastating floods over the decades. The city has found a unique solution to this – resiliency parks. These community parks and green spaces are built in such a way so they can contain floodwaters, taking on the excess flow and guiding it away from the city center.
