Liberty State Park

This park is great with amazing views of the skyscrapers of New York City ... we took a walk through and pictures before going to the boat to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty. Parking is free.

Historical in its scope and reaching to the beautiful Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal building at one end, this is definitely a place to wander, explore, run, and get lost. Read more
