Canco Park is 15,000 square feet of beautiful passive park with a rolling grass hill and a stand of white birch trees to sit under on a warm summer day. In the spring of 2018, the Canco Park Conservancy was formed in an effort to foster community and well-being in the park. We restore and preserve Canco Park the only public green space within the densely developed neighborhood of Journal Square, Jersey City, NJ.
We create community-building programming to educate and entertain the public. Native plants, habitat creation and pollinator and wildlife support are an important part of our mission. The Conservancy has helped the park be in sync with nature by planting native species plants. Our rain gardens are a sample of what is possible through the use of native plants and habitats. Canco Park is a living green community hub for our neighborhood
