Battery Park

  Battery Park, located at the southern tip of Manhattan in New York, serves as a stunning gateway to the harbor and the iconic Statue of Liberty. This historic park, established in the 17th century, once served as a fortification against British naval attacks during the American Revolution. Today, it features an expansive promenade that stretches approximately 1.5 miles along the waterfront, perfect for leisurely strolls or quick jogs. During April, visitors can enjoy the park’s beautiful cherry blossom trees, which bloom strikingly and attract many locals and tourists alike. While there, you can explore various memorials, including the Battery Park's enchanting SeaGlass Carousel and panoramic views of Ellis Island and the harbor.
