The Friends of Liberty State Park is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization that is dedicated to preserving, protecting, conserving and promoting Liberty State Park, the inspiring urban state park on the Jersey City waterfront behind Lady Liberty and Ellis Island. FOLSP wants to improve Liberty State Park to keep it free and green for future generations to enjoy. FOLSP is a proud member of EarthShare NJ’s “workplace giving campaigns” which support environmental organizations.
Liberty State Park is sacred and priceless public land because it is scarce in an urban open space, vital for urban people’s quality of life, and mental, emotional and physical public health in this densely populated area, and also sacred because Liberty State Park is a stones throw from the Statue of Liberty.
Liberty State Park is a local, state and national treasure, an inclusive and open park for all to enjoy. LSP wouldn’t be the free and green urban park it is today, if LSP founders Morris Pesin and Audrey Zapp, and The Friends since our 1988. For LSP’s almost 50 years, it has been a haven within an urban landscape.
