The New Jersey Historical Society, Military Park Building, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Robert Treat Center and the newly built One Theatre Square and 50 Rector St buildings are located across Park Place from the park. A $3.25 million renovation led by Dan Biederman was announced in February 2012. The reconstruction was expected to be completed in late 2013, but due to harsh weather was postponed until spring 2014. A casual restaurant, Burg, does business in the park. The park reopened in June 2014.

This is a beautiful little park set right in the middle of downtown Newark. There is a very good restaurant, Burg here with outdoor seating. Alas, it is only open on weekdays. The park itself has many nice seating areas in beautifully landscaped gardens. They have a small carousel, charging stations, and a lot of special programing such as outdoor films and yoga, free concerts, etc.

Military Park was a short walk from our hotel (TRYP Hotel). It was a cute but well maintained park with some interesting statues and things to look at. From a bust of JFK, a military statue led by George Washington to a cute little carousel, we enjoyed a short walk before making our way back to our hotel. At 8:00 there were a member of people in the park and we felt very safe.
