Review:
Liberty State Park is a charming public park on Jersey City's Upper New York Bay, overlooking the stunning Manhattan skyline and landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
The park was opened in 1976 as part of the American bicentennial celebration and is overseen by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry today.
Visitors can enjoy great opportunities for hiking, biking, boating, canoeing, fishing, and crabbing throughout the year or explore attractions such as the two-mile Liberty Walk promenade, which has received major landscaping awards for its unique design.
At the park's northwestern entrance, the Liberty Science Center offers family-friendly STEM exhibits and one of the world's largest IMAX Dome theaters.
Monuments and memorials throughout the park include the World War II-themed Liberation by Nathan Rapoport and Frederic Schwartz's Empty Sky, which commemorates the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
