Liberty State Park Playground

“A large size playground for kids of all ages. It does not have a fence around the playground to keep it separate from the BBQ’s and picnic tables so it can get tricky keeping an eye on your children. During peak hours the parking lot can get up to a 15 mins+ wait times or even blocked from entering. There are public restrooms which is always a nice welcome with kids. An ice-cream truck is usually stationed to provide treats(on the expensive side). We go to this playground at least once a month and best times are before 10:30 or after 4:00 as far as parking goes. A word of caution when it gets busy some older kids are not quite as friendly going onto the large slide and will shove their way through. Our children have experienced this several times on multiple occasions, unfortunately. Other than that it is a wonderful playground and how can any parent not soak in the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Verrazano Bridge, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty 🗽🇺🇸 🛝 👍😀”

“Wonderful place to hang outside for families and friends. Huge playground for kids to enjoy and exercise. Plenty of picnic tables. There are plenty of BBQ grills on the playground. You can bring your own. The views on New York and Jersey City are astonishing. There are bathrooms on location. Only one bummer is a small parking lot. If it is a prime time you won't be able to find a parking spot. There are other parking lots but it's kind of far. One more bonus is Ellis Island just in front of you but you can only look at it and take a pictures because the bridge to the Island is closed.”

“A large and open playground in the shadow of New York and Statue of Liberty. The play equipment consists of 2 LARGE play structures and a kid friendly obsticle course. The entire play area is surrounded by picnic tables and benches with shade. A public bathroom is nearby and parking was free. If your feeling adventurous you can talk the walking paths and see the sights.”
