Mayor Richard A. Rutkowski Park

Also at the park is the crane (lift) that was use to put the PT Boats in the water at Elco Boat Works in Bayonne. Builder of PT 109, John F Kennedy’s WWII PT Boat.

A wetlands preserve situated on the northwestern end of town that is part of the RiverWalk and north of Stephen R. Gregg Hudson County Park. Mayor Richard A. Rutkowski Park is also known as the Waterfront Park and Environmental Walkway.
It is notable for bird watching, nature walking trails, bike paths, boat works monument, children’s playground, and contain parking facilities. Richard A. Rutkowski Park, a 32-​acre waterfront park is designated as a sanctuary for birds. A grand gazebo is also available for a beautiful background of any picturesque landscape for portraits as well romantic backdrop for couples. The steps leading to the monument is very quaint and garden-​like atmosphere. I love photographing the grounds, the gazebo, boat works monument. A perfect place to dispel stress of life’s daily grind or any inner abject loom and doom pain. BBQ and cookouts at Mayor Richard A. Rutkowski Park are prohibited. The boardwalk is very peaceful.
This park is a local gem oasis to the City of Bayonne, New Jersey!
