Liberty State Park
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 west side of the park is also home to the Liberty Science Center, one of Ryan and I's favorite places :)
