River Barge Park and Marina (Carlstadt)

Artist Rendering

Formally known as the Barge Club, this site was home to a waterfront bar and restaurant for nearly 30 years. Plans are underway to turn the site into a park, featuring the first new public marina on the lower Hackensack River for many years. Adjacent to the future park is the Meadowlands Conservation Trust's Richard P. Kane Natural Area. 

Four new buildings will be built using sustainable design principles; incorporating natural light, solar panels, recycled materials and salvaged timbers. The marina will be completely re-built and will be operated in accordance with New Jersey’s Clean Marina Program. The park is expected to open in 2009.
