Liberty State Park station serves as a Hudson–Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) stop positioned between Johnston Avenue and Communipaw Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey. This station commenced operations on April 15, 2000, and includes two tracks accompanied by dual side platforms.
Trains heading northbound provide connections to Hoboken Terminal and Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, New Jersey. Southbound routes terminate either at West Side Avenue in Jersey City or at 8th Street located in Bayonne, New Jersey. Adjacent to the station, there are 1,248 park-and-ride spaces available near the Liberty Science Center. A HBLR maintenance yard lies to the west of the tracks just south of the station. Beyond this location, the rail line utilizes a railroad easement that permits higher travel speeds compared to the streetcar segments.
Beginning in 2010, New Jersey Transit explored constructing a branch line from this station to the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Communipaw Terminal inside Liberty State Park. However, these plans were abandoned following Hurricane Sandy, due to concerns over potential future flooding caused by storm surges.
Starting in 2024, EZ Ride has been providing a complimentary shuttle service on weekends and holidays (from April through November), linking major destinations within Liberty State Park to this station and to ferry services at Liberty Landing.
