About the Weehawken Water Tower
The Weehawken Water Tower, located at 4050 Park Avenue in Weehawken, New Jersey, is a historical monument to technology and water supply. This park institution showcases water towers from around the world, highlighting their importance in regulating water pressure and flow in hydraulic systems. The tower operates on the simple laws of physics, with water being pumped from a reservoir into a tank at the top of the structure, and then distributed through pipes to consumers.
In addition to its primary function, the water tower also serves as a water reserve for the hydraulic system, providing additional water during peak periods of consumption. The structure, built on high elevation, played a crucial role in delivering water to urban and industrial areas, as well as supplying locomotives with water.
Constructed in various materials such as wood, brick, concrete, or steel, the water tower consists of a solid foundation, a vertical stem with stairs leading to the tank, and a network of pipes for water distribution. The tower's design reflects the architectural styles of the early 20th century, with windows for interior illumination. Visit the Weehawken Water Tower to learn more about the history and functionality of these iconic structures.
Reviews of Weehawken Water Tower
"I used to like this park, but it seems to always be closed when I walk by lately."
"Terifffic Tower. Would be really cool if they let you in and go up to the top! If given the chance I would open a nice simple Café up there serving clean simple food featuring local beers and affordable American wines. I know it's a Landmark so your not allowed to change structural things unless it was approved. Would bring jobs and tourists to this beautiful castle. Excellent NYC views for sure!! The Weehawken Library is gorgeous as well!!"
"Beautiful landmark. You can see it from far away, and I have always love it. It would be awesome if it would be open for the public, to explore it inside and with an observation deck on top!"
"This water tower intrigued me so much that I paddle boarded across the Hudson to get a look at it (and the Hamilton Dueling Grounds, World War I monument, some good Cuban food...). I can see it from Pier 84, near where I live in Manhattan and paddle from. It stands out as a landmark. It is a shame some of the local Jersey reviewers don’t seem to care enough to even read about its interesting history and preservation."
"Nice area just no parking anywhere. You need a permit even if you're visiting some one"
