16th Street Park

16th Street Park, also known as Dominico – 16th Street Park, is a municipal park in Bayonne, New Jersey. It is located on the west side of the city along the Newark Bay across from Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal. It is a component of the Hackensack River Greenway.

History

The park was developed as a Works Progress Administration project.
The park is named in dedication to G. Thomas DiDomenico, who was mayor of Bayonne from 1955-1959.
In 2016 funding was provided for the creation of a 700-foot-long stretch of waterfront south of the main park for a rocky beachfront and elevated eight foot wide boardwalk.
In 2022, a memorial bench to honor Jersey City Police detective Joseph A. Seals who lost his life in connection to the 2019 Jersey City shooting, was created.

An amphitheatre, the municipal pool, a firing range, and a boat launch can be found at the park. There are courts for handball, tennis, basketball, volleyball and pickleball as well as fields for baseball, softball, and soccer. Walking paths, a boardwalk, and kayak launch are found along the Hackensack River Greenway.
