Hoboken’s Hudson County Park, as it was originally called, was designed by noted landscape architect Charles Lowrie. It was later renamed Columbus Park for its historic sculpture of Christopher Columbus. The park features a historical structure referred to as the “Sun House”: an ornately-designed gazebo that includes a sunken garden. The gazebo, which is nearly 100 years old, was recently renovated with new flooring, a shingled roof and an overall re-painting. Also, the John A. Sacci Plaza is a small memorial garden area in the park that is dedicated to a beloved social studies teacher.
