WHAT A GREAT VIEW!
On a seasonably warm December afternoon I was looking for something memorable to do. When I was in college, I lived in Jersey City, about a 5 minutes drive from Liberty State Park. I took many, many walks there with my dog Melody. I google searched it and looked at the map - it was still there!
The drive was easy and you can take EXIT 14B which takes you right into the park.
There is a large parking area right by the playground.
The playground is the middle of the park with a fantastic view!
As a parent of 3 kids, I found this park large but easy to navigate when keeping an eye on your children. There were plenty of benches on the perimeter if you'd like to sit and watch.
The playground is GREAT. Tons to do and all my kids were able to enjoy the different part.
There are also restrooms right by the park.
My oldest ran off to try everything. My middle made a friend the second she stepped in the park. My youngest took off with my husband keeping an eye on him. They all had fun!
"WHERE ARE THE HOUSES?"
My middle child said this as we pulled up! Can you tell we don't live near a major city?
We took a walk up to the long path by the edge of the water. The view is incredible and there are plenty of GREAT spots to take pictures. My kids loved watching the boats, looking at the buildings and just enjoying the scenery. We took a walk down the path that goes along the water.
As you walk down the path, you get an excellent view of the Statue of Liberty.
My oldest, who learned about it, was THRILLED to see it!
With tired kids from playing and walking, we headed back to the car.
It was an inexpensive, memorable trip for the kids!
Someday we will have to explore the Statue of Liberty up close!
Here are some links to help you plan your trip!
