What/where is the closest train station to Liberty state Park, New Jersey?|100904

I am planning a trip to a music festival in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New jersey. I am coming from pittsburgh pennsylvania, and in order to schedule a train ticket, I need to know which station to get off at.
I would like to know what the nearest train station is to Liberty State Park?
I am searching on Amtrak. Are there any other options? Does amtrak not stop in Jersey City?
Please help as soon as possible!

  • Take Amtrak to Penn Station Newark. At Penn Station Newark take the PATH train to the Exchange Place station. At the Exchange Place Station take the Bayonne Bound Light Raid to the Liberty State Park Stop.

  • Take Amtrak to Newark Penn Station. Then take a PATH train to the Exchange Place station (4 stops).

    After exiting to the street, walk one block to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) station. Take either a Westside Av or 22nd St bound Light Rail train 4 stops to Liberty State Park. From there get the shuttle bus to the park.

    PATH fare is $1.75. Purchase a single ride ticket or a round trip MetroCard from the vending machines near the turnstiles.

    HBLR fare is $1.90. Purchase a ticket from the vending machine on the platform and validate (time-stamp) it before boarding the train. There are validators on the platform and on the vending machine itself. It is important that you do this or you could be subject to a fine if your ticket is asked for by inspectors.

    The NJ Transit shuttle bus fare is $1.35 (in coins or a one dollar bill plus 35 cents in coins). For that you get a _day pass_ so you can ride back from the ferry w/o having to pay another fare (see the timetable for the bus - below)
