Poly WoodAugust 7, 2018This 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.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Historical 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
If you have a dog that loves the water this is the place in Paulus Hook to go. So if you like throwing sticks for dogs into the water there are plenty of volunteers to go get them.
One of the best parks in New Jersey. Amazing views of New York City and the Statue of Liberty. Watch out during a summer full moon. Photographers love to crowd the pavilion as the moon rises.
Alex PhilipMay 5, 2017Nice park, great mini statues, you can learn some history with them, the liberty statue is nice, although I was expecting for more!! Overall , it's a must go place, one of the main symbols of NY.
Hector MartinezJuly 5, 2014If you want to see the fireworks on a 4th of July park between the statute of liberty and Ellis island you will have a great view of all the activity
Bring your walking shoes, sense of humor for people watching, the awes for the engagement/wedding pictures(recommended location), laughs for the fishermen, and ready for picture moments!!!
Less than 2,000 feet from the Statue of Liberty lies one of Jersey's best 4-mile running paths. Great for biking too!
Nicole RovigJuly 22, 2018It’s crowded but offers a fantastic view of the Statue of Liberty and the City. There are many picnic areas available.
Alex ApriscoDecember 29, 2015A not so crowd place but simple awesome! Nice view of New York , nearly of the Statue and for free!!
- John LewMarch 23, 2014Best panoramic photo spot for NYC skyline, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island & other sightseeing notables. But not after dusk, esp when alone.
Museum of American FinanceJuly 12, 2012The Morris Canal used to move coal from PA to iron factories in NJ. Now obsolete, the eastern terminus of the Canal is a remnant of a once booming industry. Learn more at the MoAF at 48 Wall St, NYC Read more
Excellent walking trails on the waterfront. Great views of NYC and the backside of the Statue of Liberty. The diverse crowd at the park highlights one of the many great aspects of city living.
If you're a runner, this place is the best for long runs - a nice flat 4-mile loop, bathrooms, easy parking, and all in the shadow (figuratively) of the Statue of Liberty and the NYC skyline.
From downtown Jersey City, enter via the pedestrian bridge at the end of Jersey Ave. A bike/walking lane was paved across the gravel lot last year so it's a smooth ride all the way in!
Maria Sanchez ZevallosNovember 2, 2015Beautiful place love the sight seeing can see the status of liberty from the cross the ocean love the park for my grandkids very clean place

Charles DJuly 6, 2014Great View of Lady Liberty and the city. Free entrance, parking and picnicking.
Spectacular views. Get place to energize from the craziness in the city.
In 2014,Macy's moved their July 4th fireworks show to the east river... So what? The largest fireworks show in the state of New Jersey takes place here, in front of the Statue of Liberty.- Really good bike trails, Beautiful views of Manhattan, exchange place, Lady Liberty and Verrazano Bridge
- One of the only places in Jersey City that you can safely let your dog of its lead. Even a little beach for the water-loving dogs.
Sheba KunhimohammedJune 24, 2012Great place for walking/biking. They have a couple of grills for barbecuing, a good spot to spend a nice summer day.
Reashun GladneyJuly 3, 2016The view of New York was beautiful & the statue of liberty. Watching people fishing & crabing in the river.
Odie WanMay 19, 2014Only three BBQ grills here. Get here early or be prepared to eat your raw burgers and hot dogs.
Great place for a walk, run, or bike ride. Just be mindful of the cars.
Marlon MantillaDecember 14, 2016Great view to NYC, very peaceful and not too crouded as Central Park

Great for a BBQ, morning walk or jog or just plain relaxing....
