There are several landmines unaccounted for in the area, and it's known to be alligator habitat. Furthermore, the area can get occasional hurricanes.

Gotta watch out for the dementors

You'll get snark for asking, but it's fine. There are ton of families in the area.

The downside being the trains can be loud at times and you're a long walk to the PATH if you need it.

If talking about Enos Jones park. It’s very safe. Living right on the park you will hear slow moving freight train that squeals for about ten mins long. Quite annoying. Other than that. The area and park itself are very safe

The train is the only issue. Hamilton Park Train and it runs alll the time, all night, etc. Just beware of this monstrosity. Otherwise perfectly safe.

Thanks! I dont understand why so many people are trying to be smart witht this. I never lived in NJ or JC, is that surprising that I dont know

Safe unless the Enos Jones oil tanker trains blow up

Because “safe” is a completely subjective term that is often used as a dog whistle.

Not your fault, it's just the repetitiveness of these inquiries. If I had some GIS tech skills I'd make a map with links to all the threads inquiring about every specific neighborhood. I raised my kids a few blocks away from there, we all lived!

I grew up down the street from jones park. It’s always been a quiet area.

Pretty rough area. A lot of gang members patrolling the streets. If you are wearing the wrong colors it might be a problem... stay safe and godbless.

If you like beer, the only thing in danger is your wallet bc The Thirsty Quaker is down the street and they’ve got a bangin selection of craft beers. In all seriousness though, its a safe area, you’ll be more than fine.
