I always considered this kind of a secret spot to hangout and relax at when I was younger in the 90s and 00s. I didn't go to Rutgers, but as a born and bred New Brunswickian, I definitely ran around all the campuses! In 2011, this park was named after reporter Frank Deiner Sr., the year he passed. Considered "a reporter's reporter" he worked for the New Brunswick Daily Home News. His "beat" was the city of New Brunswick and this is the only monument dedicated to a deceased journalist in the state of New Jersey.
"His incisive reporting helped to rally public opinion behind a new City Hall, Memorial Stadium, Memorial Parkway, Public Housing and Slum Clearence, Clean-up of the Raritan River, Middlesex County College and Vocational Schools and major road projects. He activiely supported legislation that resulted in this park, the Hugh N. Boyd Roadway below and the John A. Lynch Bridge spanning the Raritan River."
In order to claim this virtual, you must take a picture of yourself with the monument. Logs missing this photo will be deleted.
