Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance
About the partner
We provide public programs, kayaking programs, and educational opportunities including partnerships with local schools and Scout groups. Our programs are often environmentally or historically centered but also include art and cultural programs. We try to provide access to the public to the site primarily on Sundays and other times that the City staff are unable to open the site.
Perspective on Health Equity
Our mission includes promoting educational and recreational opportunities at the Reservoir. The Reservoir was originally a site that provided water to residents in Jersey City. As such it has a history directly related to public health. The site is now a wild, natural green space, which are proven to greatly benefit one's physical and mental health. We hope to foster a Culture of Health among Jersey City residents that emphasizes respect and empathy for our natural resources.
