WRT’s New Jersey Capital Park Master Plan was the result of a national design competition to develop plans for turning Trenton’s underutilized riverfront into an urban state park. The plan worked to reconnect the City of Trenton to the Delaware River, and subsequently revealed the potential immense economic impact that investment in the Capital Park could have for Trenton and the State of New Jersey.
Set within healthy ecological and community networks the plan presents a unified composition of museums, civic institutions, historic sites, archaeological resources, entertainment attractions, and regional transportation infrastructure. The plan draws on Trenton’s artistic and industrial heritage, tremendous historic and cultural resources, and an exceptional riverfront setting, pulling together a fragmented waterfront into a compelling whole.
