The statue of Frank Sinatra in Hoboken, New Jersey is located along Sinatra Park section of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway.

Statue

Sinatra Park Amphitheater

The 6-foot (1.8 m) tall bronze work sits atop a round pedestal inscribed with Francis Albert Sinatra. It depicts Sinatra at the age of 45 leaning against a lamppost and tipping his hat. It was created by Carolyn D. Palmer and dedicated in 2021 on December 12, the date of Sinatra's birth in 1915.[1][2] In attendance were the sculptor, Tina Sinatra, Joe Piscopo, and Mayor of Hoboken Ravinder Bhalla.[3] A plaque placed by the city in 1989 is also located in the park.[4]

Significance

Sinatra's early life was spent in Hoboken, where he was born and raised.[4] He was awarded the Key to the City by Mayor Fred M. De Sapio on October 30, 1947.[5] In 2003 the city's main post office was designated the Frank Sinatra Post Office Building. [6]

A bronze plaque, placed two years before Sinatra’s death in 1998, marks the site of the house where he was born.[4] There is also a commemorative marker in front of Hoboken Historical Museum, which has artifacts from his life and conducts Sinatra walking tours through the city.[7]
