Liberty State Park is a green oasis in the
middle of Metropolitan northern New Jersey. With the Manhattan skyline, the
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as a spectacular backdrop, Liberty State Park
is one of the state's most dramatic parks.
The historic Central Railroad
of New Jersey Terminal (CRRNJ), a grand setting for much of New Jersey's
transportation history in the northeast, sits prominently at the north end of
the park. A two-mile promenade, Liberty Walk links the picnic area, Interpretive
Center and the CRRNJ Terminal while presenting visitors with a sweeping view of
the Hudson River. An outdoor performance area and other improvements mark the
northern section of the park, while the western portion is dominated by the
state-of-the-art Liberty Science Center.
