One of the side effects of the Pulaski Skyway rehab project was the detour through downtown Jersey City on my commute to Harborside. Like eschewing the interstate to take the highway through Main St, you got to see things that you miss while speeding at 65 mph on the elevated roadway.
I've noticed this park and statue a number of times in the past few months and finally stopped to check it out. It describes Dr. José Rizal, who is considered the national hero of the Philippines. He was a martyr for Filipinos during the Spanish occupation at the end of the 19th century. The state was erected by the Order of the Knights of Rizal, a civic organization for those of Filipino descent. No one with bother you in the park but you may get a few curious looks from the folks waiting at the nearby intersection. There is a gate on Columbus Dr. and the side street to get into the park.
