The state park system also offers many recreational opportunities for its residents and visitors. National Park Service www.nps.gov/state/nj ǀ www.nps.gov/state/ny The states of New York and New Jersey cooperate with various groups to balance the forces of urban development and ecological preservation. The areas provide a wealth of cultural and natural resources for everyone. Follow the path and hear the stories of immigrants entering America, check out the shelters used by Washington's army during the Revolutionary War, or see the memorials to those who led and fought in battles, historical figures, and the early beginnings of the feminist movement.
