This is a lovely park named after the ever-lovely, Hoboken native, Frank Sinatra. It’s fairly simple, there are no stages or tennis courts or things like that. But it is very beautiful and nicely maintained. I come here for walks every so often because the view of the city is spectacular. I’m not sure how long the trail is but you can definitely get a good work out on it. And people do not overrun it so you should find it fairly relaxing.
Things to do
Hoboken isn’t famous for too much other than being the birthplace of Frank Sinatra. This small, one-room museum does its best to honor ‘Ol Blue Eyes with old photos, letters, and other belongings of his. It’s a pretty neat tour to take if you are in Hoboken. You can definitely cover all the material in an hour. The museum is right next to his former home on 417 Monroe Street. The home is now gone but a gold star in the sidewalk marks its spot. The suggested donation is $5.
The Hoboken Historical Museum conducts some really interesting, off the beaten path walking tours through the city. They’ll give you more information in person but their website provides detailed descriptions of all the sites and addresses. You could definitely make a day out of it. A lot of craft fairs roll through here so I often end up here with my mother who’s a craft fanatic. They have other events here too, usually based on the season, so it’s worth checking in so often to see what’s up.
