Abstract
Description
Schuetzen Park located on the boarder of Union City and North Bergen, is a privately owned park that has existed since 1874. The German-American Volksfest has taken place there annually since its construction. In a 1911 ad in which it is called Sch�tzen Park proprietor Fred Hager claimed it as the "largest park of its kind in New Jersey", offering 600 x 200 feet rifle ranges, 10 modern bowling alleys, and three dancing pavilions, which could accommodate roughly 50,000 people.
The park also contained a variety of attractions, such as vaudeville performances, parades, fireworks and tournaments. Today the park is used for banquets, weddings, receptions, and public sporting events such as boxing and mixed martial arts matches.
