Newark’s First Historically Designated Neighborhood – a touchstone of Newark history, culture, and community engagement Located on the main thoroughfare of Broad Street, Harriet Tubman Square (formerly known as Washington Park) is the green space anchor of historic Newark institutions such as the Newark Museum of Art and the Newark Public Library. Just a short walk to Halsey Street shopping and dining, the surrounding neighborhood is not only home to cultural institutions such as NJPAC, but also centers of education and innovation including North Star Academy, Rutgers-Newark Business School, Audible’s Innovation Cathedral, and Newark Venture Partners. From the historic brownstones along James Street to the modern amenity-filled Walker House and Kislak Building, the opportunities to call our Washington Park neighborhood ‘home’ continue to grow. Easily reached from Broad Street Station or by Newark Light Rail from Penn Station, we welcome you to discover our corner of the city.
