	Weequahic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weequahic (pronounced "weekwake") is a neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey's south ward.
		It is separated from the central ward by Hawthorne Avenue on the north, and bordered by the township of Irvington on the west, Newark Liberty International Airport on the east, and the city of Elizabeth on the south.
		The name "Weequahic" is Lenni-Lenape for "head of the cove." The area was farmland until the late nineteenth century when it was developed into a middle-class, non-industrial neighborhood of detached single-family homes oriented around Weequahic Park.

		Roger Quindel, a county supervisor who coaches soccer at the park, says the crime issue is also related to the way the park is laid out: Even with the vegetation trimmed back, the park's undulating landscape obstructs views of activity within the interior.

Located in a low-income, mostly African-American area near the airport, the 311-acre park (pronounced We-QUAY-ic) was designed by Olmsted's firm in 1898 but had fallen on hard times in recent decades, thanks to budget cuts, crime, decaying infrastructure and litter.
