Jersey City Parks Coalition is a 501c(3) Not-for-Profit
THE VISION OF THE JCPC
The Coalition encourages advocacy through neighborhood empowerment that foster a sense of community and reduction of pollution, crime, and other social maladies around these open spaces.
The three major goals of the Jersey City Parks Coalition are:
1. Promote community empowerment and facilitate the democratic input of residents in the design and maintenance of their parks and public spaces.
2. Coordinate and implement community projects to enhance the natural beauty and functionality of the parks and public spaces.
3. Create, support, and promote a positive social environment and public events in which individuals, families, and groups of all ages can come to the parks and public spaces to relax or recreate in a manner that is uplifting and respects the neighborhood's cultural diversity.
Our mission is to lead residents to develop, renovate, and maintain their community parks and public spaces of Jersey City; thereby revitalizing neighborhoods and lifting the communal spirit.
This includes acquiring new land to create new parks, adding many culturally-enriching uses of these parks and spaces, educating the public and city students regarding all related topics, extending democracy by empowering residents to bring about such changes, lifting the spirit, hope and harmony of neighborhoods and expanding fundraising for all of these functions.
