Belmont Avenue at WestSide Avenue. In 1905, “West Side Park”, as it used to be called, was designed by landscape architect Charles Lowrie and Daniel W. Langston and features multiple historical points of interest. “Lincoln the Mystic”, a seated statue of the US President, was sculpted by James Earle Fraser. It was dedicated on June 14, 1930 when the park was given its current name of Lincoln Park. The fountain at the entrance of Lincoln Park was designed by the sculptor Pierre J. Cheronin and completed in 1911. It is high and decorated with water spouting frogs and allegorical figures and is considered the largest concrete fountain in the world. The park honors history through several monuments, such the Irish Famine Memorial, Civil War Soldier statue, James T. Farrier Firefighter Memorial, and by the display of two historic cannons and sun houses.
Lincoln Park is an urban park in Jersey City, New Jersey with an area of 273.4 acres (110.6 ha). Part of the Hudson County Park System, it opened in 1905 and was originally known as West Side Park. The park was designed by Daniel W. Langton and Charles N. Lowrie, both founding members of the American Society of Landscape Architects and part of the City Beautiful movement.

One of the five Loew's "Wonder Palaces," the Loew's Jersey was one of New York City's flagship movie palaces. The interior of the theater is surprisingly intricate and detailed; one person remarked that standing in the lobby of the Loew's is like standing inside a Faberge egg. It is being lovingly restored by a local group, and often hosts live events and screens movie revivals.
Will open in 2023.

Designed in the 1890s with stained-glass windows, a Seth Thomas clock, a Romanesque-Byzantine edifice, and a recreation of Raphael's "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament". The church's design features a gold tessera (a fusion of pure gold leaf and two pieces of glass) which only four other churches in the United States have.
