New York Habitat • November 28, 2011A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too.
Jason K. • August 7, 2014One of the greatest hidden places of Manhattan. Everything from mini golf, skate park and beach volleyball courts
The Corcoran Group • October 11, 2013Some of the best views of the Hudson River from this park, and not as crowded as other parks along the West Side highway. Great place to catch a summer concert.
Jenny U. • October 28, 2010Great place to have your afternoon lunch break at with benches in the sun and shade. Some people watching, but also has a lot of pigeons around.
Institute for Integrative Nutrition • September 12, 2011A great place for Fall IINto Action conference participants to visit while in New York! Check out our NYC Healthy Living Guide on parks and walking tours for more info.
Snap Dog • July 1, 2016Hot dogs are a NYC tradition loved by everyone, both private and public sector. Grab a Snap Dog from the cart near NYC City Hall at 258 Broadway and enjoy it in the park - yum!
Kevin O. • July 11, 2016One of the most unique kids parks you'll find in the city. Don't miss exploring the upper path before firing yourself down the epic slide.

Michael S. • January 17, 2021The Park is beautiful and surrounded by churches, temples, and meeting houses.
Bumbsy M. • November 5, 2013Park has improved considerably under my mayorship. I will continue to lead it with a ferocity this park has never seen! I will not stop until Central Park is known as "that other park"!
Camila R. • June 27, 2011This is a beautiful park that is a must in New York City.All the buildings around it are historical and you feel like you are in another era. Need a key to go in, but it is seeing it from the outside.
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨ • February 21, 2012One of my favorite parks in NYC. Come here, sit, enjoy the view and relax. If you are hungry, Shake Shack is around the corner.
Kimmie O. • July 26, 2020Such a beautiful park. You’ll always have breathtaking waterfront views of NYC. Lots of grassy area for picnics. Plenty of things to do here. Certain piers have designated sports sections.
Elijah M. • December 21, 2016I honestly believe that Battery Park is the best park of New York besides Central Park. It's super fun, spacious, calming, and holds many exciting shows and museums! Go visit in spring/summer!
