    This is THE place that i go to when i have free time. The walk besides the river is beautiful and there is a big parking space, good washroom and plenty of space to walk around and fish. View of new york is breathtaking and Statue of Liberty is visible on a straight line of view. Definetly recommend

    Pretty sure this is the closest you can get to the Statue of Liberty without a boat. Great park for picnics, exercising and the views

    It is an amazing place, calm and good energy. perfect for bbq, games and fun with family or friends. It has a very large lot for parking. You must arrive by car, the bus is difficult to access. perfect for walking or playing sports with great vegetation.

    Black Tom island is very cool from a distance, I never actually set foot on it because the ferries were closed from the Jersey City side, but it was cool.
