The Northwest Resiliency Park will transform an asphalt-covered site into a vegetated park filled with amenities for the Hoboken community while filtering and storing stormwater to alleviate the City's infrastructure system and adjacent nuisance flooding. The use, reuse, management, and celebration of water are foundations for the design. While residents play, the park reduces flooding, cleans stormwater, and reduces wasteful use of drinking water. The park comprises a variety of spaces inspired by Hoboken's surrounding landscapes and histories, such as the woodland hills, the rise of the Palisades, and the former wood plank roads that crossed over the west side march meadows.

Work completed at OLIN while Derek Hoetmer was employed as a landscape architect.
