Boyd-McGuiness Park at the corner of Kennedy Boulevard and Duncan Avenue is getting reconstructed. The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-April, 2015. The Jersey Journal

The contracts have been awarded, the funds are secure, the design has been created and ground has already been broken on the makeover of Boyd-McGuiness Park at the corner of Duncan Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City.

"I think it will be a great asset for the neighborhood and a much needed play area for kids," said Kara Hrabosky of the Duncan Avenue Neighborhood Association. "It's been promised for years and now everybody is really excited to see that patch of land being put to good use."

The makeover, which is scheduled to be completed by mid-April, is to include a new playground, amphitheater, spray ground, community gardens, game tables, and various seating areas, according to Brian Weller, acting director of the city's Division of Architecture.

To more fully acquaint local residents with the plans, a meeting is being held tonight at 7 inside the Boyd McGuiness Apartments Community Room, 2555 Kennedy Blvd.

Money to help renovate the park was secured from the Hudson County Open Space Trust Fund.
