Capital Park
A fully funded civic park is awaiting construction in the heart of the State Capitol.
Here’s why Capital Park matters and what it will take to move it forward.
Where History, Culture, and Community Meet
The park would connect major cultural and historic institutions, including the State Museum, Old Barracks, War Memorial, and State Library, while providing welcoming, accessible open space for residents, school groups, state workers, and visitors.
Capital Park at a Glance
Location: Behind the New Jersey State House, Trenton
Funding Secured: ~$15 million for design and initial construction
Purpose: A signature green space connecting Trenton’s cultural and historic institutions
Status: Design incomplete; community engagement still needed
What’s Next: Executive coordination to finalize design and move to construction
Despite design funding being approved two years ago, a feasible, buildable plan has not been finalized and the community has not been meaningfully engaged in shaping the park.
Let's Finish the Job
Capital Park is fully funded and ready to move forward—what’s needed now is leadership to turn vision into reality.
