Located opposite Liberty Island and Ellis Island in Upper New York Bay, Liberty State Park is a 1,212-acre park in Jersey City that was opened in 1976 to coincide with bicentennial celebrations. Surrounded by water, the park is bordered by the Upper New York Bay on the south and east sides, and the Morris Canal Big Basin on the north side. Boasting unparalleled views of Manhattan's skyline, the park features the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which played an essential role in New Jersey's transportation history. The Liberty Walk is a two-mile walkway that links a pleasant picnic area with the old terminal and interpretive center, where visitors can learn about the history of the terminal and enjoy sweeping views of the Hudson River and Manhattan.
