Hudson L. • August 14, 2011One of the best ways to enjoy the park is to lace up and run around the reservoir! Great way to experience the vastness of a park right in the heart of Manhattan.
Lydia B. • January 26, 2015Lovely piece of green right in the middle of town. Nice restaurants all around the square and lovely cafes
Kevin R. • August 26, 2011This is a great place to hang out. The changing artwork in the main lawn is fun to see as well. It's a good place to go with a book and relax for a while, and often gets some light breezes through.
Ignacio S. • September 30, 2018I love this square. It’s a nice spot for sitting and reading surrounded my green and a true Manhattan feeling, even though it should be cleaned and maintained better.
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.
Nitzan B. • March 24, 2016Such a cute park! Love to have a nice place on the water when you don't wanna go to Central Park.
NYC Pride • November 29, 2011Gorgeous vistas of the mighty Hudson and plenty of space to scamper about with your two-legged and four-legged friends. Also the site of Pier 54, host to the annual Dance on the Pier.
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!
Marius W. • March 6, 2018Marius Watz: A true hidden gem, this park features monumental architecture with an amazing location in the middle of the East River. The tram across from Manhattan is worth it all on its own.
Michael F. • August 14, 2016Pleasant secluded green oasis downtown, great benches to explore for evening activities after a good date
Brian H. • April 8, 2012Wide lawns and trees dotting the periphery, sitting on a corner of land with the river on two sides, make this park a special place. The community gardens in the northeast corner are very nice too.
Jin M. • October 29, 2016Best park to walk and explore around Upper West Manhattan. It's gorgeous during summers.
Jason K. • August 7, 2014One of the greatest hidden places of Manhattan. Everything from mini golf, skate park and beach volleyball courts
May♍ • December 11, 2021Beautifully manicured and well maintained private park which is only accessible to those who live in the area with a special key. You can also gain access if staying at specific hotels in the area
Jason • September 1, 2014Best part of the park. Food. Performers. Music. And great views. Come around sunset.
Pete W. • May 25, 2015Historic Downtown Park with Lush Landscaping & Soothing Fountain - Perfect Spot for Coffee or Tea #NYC2015
Oz L. • May 5, 2015Awesome little hidden treasure of a park. An awesome place for kids to explore, climb and go down a super crazy tall slide.
City of New York • February 28, 2012Spanning the entire length of Battery Park City, the Esplanade with breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Hudson River is the ideal place to jog or take a sunset stroll.
Carlos D. • January 22, 2022A small park in New York that you can visit for free, it's a beautiful place, but nothing special, just the view of Manhattan, the garden and the different architecture.
Lipton Iced Tea • May 19, 2011Another amazing spot in New York. Nothing like being on the outskirts of the city in a setting with the natural elements and view on the river!
Jassonn W. • May 26, 2014the park is lovely and I just wanted to sit there and just relax and groove there. I took so many pictures.
DoubleDeuce • August 3, 2017A great park. Fantastic design and elevation changes. Peaceful too with the nearby tourism being kind of hectic.
