Smiles And Slides At Hoboken's National Night Out: Photos

HOBOKEN, NJ — Kids and adults alike filled Church Square Park a week ago Tuesday to enjoy the activities for the annual National Night Out. Unlike many towns that hosted three-hour events, Hoboken's event ran for four hours, offering demonstrations, food, rides, games and giveaways.

National Night Out is "an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie."

The event on Tuesday was hosted by the Hoboken Police Department and Stevens Campus Police Department.

"We love to meet with the community and strengthen our relationships with everyone to make Hoboken better," the police Tweeted afterward.

The event included a Jaws of Life demonstration by the Hoboken Fire Department, water slides, bounce houses, mini golf, music, and a cool-down sensory tent.

Gringos Tacos, Tastebuds, and Nigel's Hotdogs provided free food.

National Night Out event is celebrated by over 38 million participants and over 16,000 communities across the United States.
