Skyway Park is a 32-acre (13 ha) park being developed in Jersey City, New Jersey on the Hackensack River, partly under the Pulaski Skyway, from which it takes its name. The brownfield land was the site of the PJP Landfill.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a component of the Hackensack River Greenway, a linear park along the banks of the river and Newark Bay.
