Project Play is an HFA Initiative to Improve Hoboken Parks
After enjoying a fun filled playdate at the new playground at Liberty State Park, Zabrina Stoffel and Regina Gannon had an idea. Why didn’t Hoboken have such a park? Both moms spent many days at Church Square Park and thought Hoboken should enjoy the same type of safe playground.
Gannon and Stoffel approached the City of Hoboken with their concept. Jennifer Maier, Director of Environmental Services met them with open arms. A green light was given to solicit draft proposals. They learned about the latest in playground design including environmentally-sustainable building materials.
So in October 2009, The HFA launched Project Play. With the support of individuals, businesses, and foundations and the constant hard work of Zabrina and Regina, Project Play has raised over $35,000 already.
