Car
If you're driving from central locations like New Brunswick or Princeton, take US-1 N towards I-295 N. Merge onto I-78 E, then take the exit for NJ-1&9 N towards the Lincoln Tunnel. After merging, continue on NJ-1&9 N, and take the exit for 440 N. Follow the signs to Jersey City. Once in Jersey City, follow local signs to The Heights area. Arriving at the park, there is street parking available nearby, but be aware of parking regulations.
Train
For public transportation, you can take NJ Transit trains from various central Jersey locations (e.g., New Brunswick) to Hoboken Terminal. From Hoboken, transfer to the PATH train towards 33rd Street and get off at Journal Square. At Journal Square, transfer to the 87 bus (or other local buses) heading to Jersey City Heights. The bus will take you directly to Palisade Ave, where the park is located. Be sure to check the NJ Transit and PATH schedules for train and bus times.
Bus
If you are in a location served by NJ Transit buses, you can take a bus directly to Jersey City. Look for routes that head towards Journal Square or directly to The Heights area. Check the NJ Transit website or app for the nearest bus stop and schedule. Once you arrive in The Heights area, Riverview-Fisk Park is a short walk from the bus stops along Palisade Ave. Ensure you have exact fare or a ticket, as cash may not be accepted on all buses.
