Liberty State Park is a delightful public park along the Upper New York Bay in Jersey City, originally opened in 1976 as part of the United States' bicentennial celebration. The park, which is overseen by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, is known for its unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline and popular New York City landmarks like Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Liberty State Park visitors can enjoy a plethora of year-round recreational opportunities, including chances for hiking, biking, fishing, boating, and canoeing.
