Scope Of Work
Firefighter's Memorial Park is dedicated to local firefighters who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, and a granite monument in their honor graces the front entranceway. The series of pools within the park includes the main pool, a wading pool with water features and a separate water play area. The park also has a beautifully landscaped walkway that leads to a gazebo area with breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline.
Simply put, the end result is an architectural and engineering marvel. Perched atop the cliffs of the Palisades, half of the park is situated on the existing grade, with the other half built on a platform supported by steel columns that hovers above a 70-foot cliff parallel to the Hoboken Viaduct below.
