History

The park was developed as a Works Progress Administration project.[6]

The park is named in dedication to G. Thomas DiDomenico, who was mayor of Bayonne from 1955–1959.

In 2022, a memorial bench to honor Jersey City Police detective Joseph A. Seals who lost his life in connection to the 2019 Jersey City shooting, was created.[7]

Facilities

An amphitheatre, the municipal pool (1997),[8] a firing range, and a boat launch can be found at the park.[9] There are courts for handball, tennis, basketball, volleyball and pickleball[10] as well as fields for baseball, softball, and soccer. Walking paths include the Hackensack RiverWalk.[11][12][13][14][15]
