Liberty State Park

Liberty State Park is an expansive green space located on the shores of the Hudson River.  It has breathtaking views of the New York Harbor and is an important place for wildlife in this urban environment.

Only a short ferry ride from the Statue of Liberty National Monument and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum is Liberty State Park’s Historic Railroad Terminal. Historically the Terminal played an important role in ferrying people and it continues to do so today as one of the departure points for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.  Nearly two thirds of all the immigrants who came through Ellis Island then went on to the Terminal where they boarded trains and began their new lives here in America.

Liberty State Park has recreational opportunities and is the home of the Liberty Science Center. For more information about activities visit the Liberty State Park website.
