This project connects important city and state cultural assets by creating a healthy, active and vibrant green space behind the Capitol building in downtown Trenton for all New Jerseyans, workers, and visitors to enjoy. Get the message loud and clear to elected officials to #FinishtheJob and #BuildCapitalParkJoin our walkthrough to show your support for this future park and mobilize others to join!
