Weequahic Park (/wiːˈkweɪɪk/; pronounced Wee-QUAY-ic, or WEEK-wake "when spoken rapidly"[3]) is a park located in the South Ward of Newark, New Jersey, USA, designed by the Olmsted Brothers firm, (who also designed Branch Brook Park in Newark). The park is 311.33 acres including an 80-acre (320,000 m2) lake.[4] The Weequahic Park Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 2003, for its significance in architecture, community planning, and landscape architecture.[1][5]
In the early 2020s, following upgrades, Weequahic Park began serving as the home game site for the Rutgers University Scarlet Raiders baseball team.[6]
The East Coast Greenway runs through the park.[7] West of Weequahic Park is Weequahic, a middle-class residential neighborhood. East of Weequahic Park is the Dayton section of the city (the park itself as well is in the Dayton section) and Newark Airport.
