Re: Hackensack Riverfront
West of New Jersey Route 440 is the Hackensack Riverfront, which includes the Hudson Mall & cinemas. It is also home to Droyers Point, the former site of the old Roosevelt Stadium, where Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color line before his Major League Baseball debut. Here you will find New Jersey City University, built in 1927, along with the Thomas M. Gerrity Athletic Complex, located on Newark Bay. The Hackensack River runs for 32 miles from its headwaters in Rockland County, New York, south to the Newark Bay, with a vast stretch of salt marshes and wetlands bordering the river.
Things to do in on the Hackensack Riverfront.
- Shop at the Hudson Mall and catch a movie.
- See a performance at the New Jersey City University Theater.
- Play tennis in beautiful Lincoln Park, overlooking the lake on 273 acres of greenery.
- Enjoy the wetlands and marshes.
