Liberty Slate Park is one of the jewels of the State of New Jersey. A reclaimed rail yard in the shadow of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. the Park is rich in both history and scenic beauty. For over 60 years. the Central Railroad of New Jersey train terminal was the first stop for immigrants after passing through Ellis Island. It was from this historic terminal that they caught trains that would bring them throughout the country to begin their new lives. In more recent times and under a less joyful setting. the park hosted thousands of evacuees from Lower Manhattan on September 11. 2001.
