Geocache Description:

Small food container painted black. Reach for it and please replace as found. Park for which this cache is named had a great view, and this park has a nice one from the NW corner.

From 1889 to 1971 there was a fantastic amusement park in New Jersey, high on the cliffs on the west side of the Hudson River, just south of the George Washington Bridge to Manhattan. The park had an amazing view of New York City, especially from the top of the roller coaster, which was built right on the edge of the cliff!

Since it was the kind of view that inspired the expression "I [heart] NY", I am starting this cache out with the "I [heart] NY" Travel Bug, plus a large collection of Wild West figurines.

Freddy Cannon had a pop hit with a song about this place in 1962 and you can check it out here: (visit link)

As you approach this cache, you'll see why it's named after this park in New Jersey. That park had a great view and if you go to the NW corner of this park, the view ain't bad either.

No clues or hints required for this one, other than you'll have to reach for it. Please replace as found.
