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]
