Battery Park

I 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!

Good spot to hang out and walk around. The view of the harbor is breathtaking! This is where you will want to go to catch the various ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

The park gets its name from the series of artillery batteries built along the area’s waterfront for protection, starting in the later part of the 17th century.

In Men in Black (1997), the entrance to Headquarters is actually Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel Ventilator Building, just north of Battery Park.

This 25-acre space is like Manhattan’s delicate fingernail, neatly plotted with monuments , memorials, gardens , sculptures and a farm-to-table café , plus killer waterfront views from the promenade. Read more

Pretty park in southern Manhattan. Avoid the people trying to sell you Liberty Island tickets, gaze at the sea and buildings, and enjoy your time here!

Great place to watch the ocean from the tip of the island of Manhattan. There's an old Fort Worth while visiting and looking at the children playing with an water sculpture .

First you have to Get The ticket in The Castle and after The long line . If you come with Friends, one should buy and The other stay in The line . Have a great day ;)

Whether you're about to hop on a ferry , or you're just enjoying a downtown lunch break, Battery Park is a perfect place to enjoy a delicious Snap Dog from the cart on State St & Pearl St.

Excellent views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island . The park is full of interesting statues .

If Staten Island is too far a trip, this park offers beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty! http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/143117135471/a-guide-to-impressing-your-nyc-visitors-going-way

If you want to see the Statue of Liberty without going to the island this is the place.

I went there to get to Statue of Liberty. The park itself is nice though. You can see One World Trade Center from the park . The walk to 1WTC also feels nice~

Nice Park overall. Very nice views . Worth looking at the memorials and statues .

Admire the Statue of Liberty and sip your coffee along the water in this laid back , and usually less crowded park . Great spot to see the sunset , too.

you have to visit the sea glass carousel it is a very pretty, fun, enjoyable, little ride and is a must for kids, or your sweetheart!!

The views offered at Battery Park are among the most breath taking in the city along with the views from the other side of the bay . Great place to take in the sunset !

Nice and lovely place to wander around. Closest view you'll get of Lady Liberty from Manhattan and it's a distant glance!

There’s a great jogging path, it’s quiet and far from away from the craziness that is often Manhattan. It’s like my own peaceful little nook in the city http://bit.ly/OfH7mZ -Grease and Glamour

Take a run down east river running path (fantastic path) around sunset and end here with a scenic view of the Statue of Liberty!

Nice green space, lots of boats to different places. Try the new aquarium carousel.. Go at night, the carousel colors really pop.

The memorial gave me goosebumps!

We love this park because it's not usually very crowded . It's a great place in the city to sit and relax and take in nature.

The place to photograph the Financial District's buildings. If you have a zoom camera you can also have the Liberty Statue on your frame !

Second to none atmosphere. Casual , relax, no body cares about anything. Just enjoy the scene. Love it at the end of t afternoon!

Wearing fsociety’s Monopoly man mask, E Corp CTO Scott Knowles sets fire to millions of dollars in cash right on the sidewalk, with the World Trade Center looming overhead.

Definitely a great place to check out. Pack a lunch , find a bench & people watch for a little bit! It's pretty enjoyable!
