The Hudson County Parks Master Plan will serve the recreation needs of Hudson County residents and visitors and simultaneously prepare a parks system that is resilient to future storm events. The effects of Sandy damaged many parks facilities throughout the County. The Plan will therefore include a five year plan for the recovery of damaged facilities taking into account safety concerns, areas most vulnerable to potential storm damage, etc. By observing the conditions of all county parks and obtaining direct input from County and municipal Parks Departments, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), and the general public, The Parks Master Plan will develop recommendations for each park through a targeted implementation plan to create a parks system that is less vulnerable to the potential damages of “Sandy” type storms in the future.
