This park, expected to be 3 miles long altogether, is being built on a brownfield, next to the river which is a Superfund site due to decades of pollution.[1] The first phase of the park opened in 2012.[1] It is the first time residents of the largest city in New Jersey have ever had public access to the river.[2] History of Riverfront ParkNewark Riverfront Park is being developed in four phases, and will ultimately be 30.5 acres along the Passaic River in Newark.[3] The first phase included 12 acres and opened in 2012 in the Ironbound section. It included playgrounds, fields for soccer and baseball, a boardwalk, and walking trails. This gave members of the community their first public access to the river in over a century and was initially known as Essex County Riverfront Park.[4][5] Phase 2 opened in 2013, and with it one of the more prominent visual elements of the park, a fluorescent orange boardwalk with four large orange poles, viewable from New Jersey Transit and Amtrak trains on the Northeast Corridor just north of Newark's Penn Station.[6][7] Phase 3 opened in December 2017, with a ceremony from Newark’s Mayor Ras J. Baraka.[8] This four-acre section includes walking and bike paths, river overlooks, open exercise equipment in a [https://www.tpl.org/our-work/fitness-zone-area#sm.00001erzilsjq8faeyzc144qk0z5e Fitness Zone], seating, lighting, and flood resilience features. Ground was broken on phase 4 of the park in October 2017.[9] The park is being developed through a partnership with the City of Newark, The Trust for Public Land, the Newark Community Economic Development Corporation, and the [https://www.essexcountyparks.org/ Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs].[8] Perception of river accessThe area around Riverfront Park has been industrialized and abandoned from residents and community members for many years, due in part to pollution in the Passaic River. The river is an EPA Superfund site, with projected in 2014 estimated at $1.7 billion, it will be one of the largest Superfund cleanups ever proposed.[10][11] While plans for dredging the river to remove contaminants has been planned for many years, it was only more recently{{when|date=May 2018}} that this has been seen as an urban planning opportunity to increase community parks and access to the river itself. Connecting environmental conservation and restoration with intentional park development is a relatively new way to invest in new park infrastructure, as evidenced in increasing research in this area.[12][13] See also
