Nestled in the heart of the Van Vorst Historic District, this charming two-acre park is beloved for its well-tended flower beds, shaded seating areas, and vibrant playground. The park frequently hosts community markets and outdoor movie nights, strengthening its reputation as a centerpiece for Downtown Jersey City residents. As noted by Jersey Digs and local neighborhood associations, Van Vorst Park’s intimate scale and community-driven programming create a welcoming, lively atmosphere.

My safe place and the reason why I moved to Jersey city in 2019! So beautiful, well taken care of, lovely weekend farmer’s markets, and community. Only thing is some dog owners allow their dogs to go in the No Dog zone and plenty of irresponsible dog owners allow their dogs in the dog runs who shouldn’t be there. I have a dog myself but that doesn’t entitle me to curtail rules or courtesy to my fellow neighbors and park goers. Love the two little small libraries too!

It’s so pretty, there’s a small fountain in the middle where the birds are bathing. I’ve noticed some beautiful blue flowers on a bush that I’ve never seen before & also hydrangeas which are thriving. It’s well maintained & clean. We are filming a movie nearby & I wandered here to sit down for a moment & I am so glad I did :)

Great park to hang out with friends. Also each Saturday there's a farmers market located in the center of the park. It's also very shady and you can rest there. Little update Cam Vorst Park started doing garage sales here's some pictures.

This park is truly magical through the seasons and a great place to hang out if you're searching for solitude. It feels safe both day and night as it's well lit. The farmer's market on Saturday morning has become a staple for us. The kids playground is great and the new dog park is a serious improvement over the muddy mess it was before (note: it's almost always packed with dogs). Kudos to the JC community for taking such great care of this beautiful park.

Nice and cozy. Great dog run separated for small and big dogs, (currently being renovated with cooler things). Beautiful gazebo. Cute playground for the kids. Adorable resident made birdhouses. Overall a great park.

A nice children's park with lots of greenery, dog park, wet pool, rides and plenty of play area within the city.

Nice little park with many trees. It has some varieties of blossoms that I hadn't seen before! I wish it was bigger and that JC had more green spaces!
