acres of Liberty State Park are fenced off from the community.
235 acres of Liberty State Park
are fenced off from the community.
But we can build a park that serves everyone: from pickleballers to birders, youth athletics to environmental preservation. Opening up Liberty State Park serves everyone.
We fight for a park where kids play on real fields, tracks, and multi-use courts, youth leagues have room to compete, seniors and neighbors gather year-round in community spaces, and the park's natural land welcomes birders, walkers, and anyone who needs a breath of fresh air.

Every resident deserves a great park, no matter their age, neighborhood, or how they choose to use it. Built to serve the community. Owned by the public.
Real Jersey City residents
telling the story in their own words.
Coach Bob Hurley
"Good courts and fields aren't just important for athletes when they're competing, but for all kids when they're spending time off their iPads and outside together."
Senior · 45-year resident
"I've waited long enough. It's time to tear down the fence, open Liberty State Park and make a Better Park For All."
Environmental advocate
"New Jersey needs to clean it up, preserve it, and turn it into something useful — for us, for the animals, for our air, and our water."
